Description
hello,
I would like to compile retroarch for fbdev without the mali driver.
Is it possible? I have been trying some combinations, sdl, opengl, gles but I get , failed to find a video driver.
I also can't use the kms option as I am stuck to a quite old kernel that doesn't have it.
SO ideally I would like to access the framebuffer directly, for example with directfb.
thanks a lot :)

Research direction
Review RetroArch's existing SDL, OpenGL/GLES, and KMS video-driver paths, then compare them with the requested fbdev or DirectFB approach on an old kernel without Mali. Done would require a clear determination of whether direct framebuffer access can be supported and what implementation scope is needed.
