This is a kdrive X server that allocates dumb, linear buffers, draws with the cpu into those buffers, and reports the damage to the kernel after it finishes. Mode setting through RandR is also supported Signed-off-by: stefan11111 <stefan11111@shitposting.expert>

If anyone is skeptical about the gbm dependency, it does not require mesa.
Pure libgbm can be found here: https://github.com/glfs-book/libgbm
And a generic gbm backend can be found here: https://github.com/stefan11111/dumb_gbm
I only tested this on top of #14 because I could not get tinyx to work with libXfont1 on my system.
There should be no issues with libXfont1 either.
