Greetings Phil!
If you are only need 2d, check out the Simple DirectMedia Layer =
www.libsdl.org - It is an outstanding open-source cross-platform library =
for graphics, sound, and input. This is what you want if you want =
full-screen multi-resolution support without needing to do low-level =
X-Windows API.
If you need 3d, then
An open-source version of OpenGL is availible at: =
http://www.mesa3d.org/.
If you want hardware acceleration, see www.nvidia.com or =
http://dri.sourceforge.net/ .
Also, you can use the sdl or =
http://www.opengl.org/developers/documentation/glut.html with whatever =
OpenGL implementation you want.
And of course, I highly recommend both gcc http://gcc.gnu.org/ for your =
compiler and Emacs http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/ as your editor.
Good Luck!!

I am a new member and fairly new to Linux, but have been hacking for =
several years. In my migration from MS DOS I am haveing some difficulty =
with some of the things I want to do. I have been developing a system =
derived from the turtle graphics work done at MIT in the seventies and =
am looking for help in porting it to Linux. I have it partially working =
under FreeX86. The DOS version sets up the monitor modes and uses the =
full screen. I think that Open GL uses this method but do not have =
loaded on my computer. If there is someone willing to give me some help =
with this I will certainly appreciate it.
