I am developing an embedded application that will run on the framebuffer on the target device. Is it possible to develop and test such an application on a development machine (a standard desktop PC) without leaving X11?

I know there is a virtual framebuffer for Qt. I am looking to something similar to this, but not Qt-specific.

Note: This question is similar to this one, but not related to DirectFB.

A virtual machine should work – Ben Voigt Dec 21 '15 at 16:15
Yes, and running on the target via nfs works too, but I'm looking for a way to speed up the development / testing cycle... Isn't there a way to run a fb application on X11? – Grodriguez Dec 21 '15 at 16:34

If you come up and go to the kitchen to have a cup of coffee, is this "leaving X11"? Looking at another console is neither. – n. m. could be an AI Dec 22 '15 at 17:24
