It +was originally intended to allow user programs to interface with KGI, the +GGI Kernel Graphics Interface, but other display types can be easily used by +loading the appropriate "display target" (e.g. X, memory). + +LibGGI consists of a main library (libggi.so) and a multitude of +dynamic drivers. The library then loads the necessary "drivers" for the +requested mode, taking hints from the graphics device if necessary. LibGGI +can also load extension libraries, e.g. to provide enhanced 2D and 3D +functions. |
