GGI stands for "General Graphics Interface", and it is a project that aims to develop a reliable, stable and fast graphics system that works everywhere. We want to allow any program using GGI to run on any platform requiring at most a recompile.

It all started out with some people being annoyed by the fact that graphics in Linux means either X or svgalib, and if you use both at the same time, you can easily crash the graphics card and make the system unusable. Nowadays, GGI development also involves a portable userspace library, 3D graphics, and anything else that is fun to hack :-)

19990409: Screenshots page is up.

LibGGI 2.0 BETA2 (the Renoir release) is out.

After doing some maintenance and adding a few missing features, the second Beta of LibGGI is out.

Note, that starting with Beta1 LibGGI consists of a library doing generic input handling called LibGII, and the "traditional" LibGGI, which takes care for handling graphical output to virtually anything used to display graphics on Linux or Unix in general.

And _NO_ - you don't need to patch your kernel to use it.

For those that have waited for just that announcement - here is where you can get it: ftp://ftp.ggi-project.org/pub/ggi/ggi/2_0_beta_2

Here is the full announcement.

Update: Redhat 5.2 RPMs are also available for this release. They can be found at Redhat Contrib|Net or at ftp://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/pub/local/miri/ggi/2.0b2/

The documentation for LibGGI and LibGII has also been updated for this release.
