Re: How to make framebuffer look like a real monitor?

Thank you, that could work. As I understand, using fbdev doesn't
support hotplug and the only way to setup it is via xorg.conf editing?

(in short, I need to create a virtual GPU that is treated as a real
one by desktop environment but instead of actual rendering only
writing to framebuffer in RAM is required).
