Using OpenGL without a window manager in Linux -


I have just finished the LFS book and my Linux system is still working, to display the graphics on the screen I want to use OpenGL, while the currently installed packages are described only on them.

I do not want to install something like genome, KDE or X.org. Instead, I want to use OpenGL directly from my software. Is it possible, and how can I do this? Or is it just as easy (I do not think: 'P) by writing an OpenGL application that runs full screen?

Thank you.

You do not have to install genome or KDE, it is used for the managed window, and you Launch a graphical application without a window manager.

Therefore, you have to install an X server X Server is responsible for dragging things onto your screen. Without the X server, you can not launch graphical applications.

After the X is installed, launch it, export your DISPLAY environment variable, and the rest is like writing an OpenGL application that runs full screen: -)
