PureBasic Forums - English

Not really PureBasic related, but I wanted to know if I can use a PB EXE using SDL in some embedded Linux release that doesn't use X11 or GTK (of course I would not use any GUI commands). Is SDL able to work without X11 ? I mean directly with the frame-buffer ? You must install SVGALIB ? Thanks in advance.

AFAIK, SDL doesn't explicitely needs X11. There is a backend for X11, DirectX, DirectFB etc. The most common one on linux requiers X11 tough.
