On your question: It's really not simple to just draw a few lines, you'll end up writing at least half an opengl driver. I go into more details in a recent blog post of mine: https://blog.ffwll.ch/2018/08/no-2d-in-drm.html So if you want examples of how to drive the gpu through ioctls, then you want to read the opengl driver. For basic blitting there's other examples (like the igt test library we have), but that's really not enough for 2d drawing. I still recommend you just use opengl es.
