Those are the chronicles of my search for knowledge about Linux framebuffer devices.
You can find the devices in `/dev/fb{0..32}`.

## Drawing
The goal here is to create a basic UI on the 4DPi 2.4" HAT display for the Raspberry Pi.

What works:
- can draw shapes
- can draw fonts

## Double-Buffering
The proper term is 'panning'. The `FBIOGET_FSCREENINFO` `ioctl` indicates if this is supported by the driver or not.
