I want to build an OpenGL based system without X. I know this will be possible with the open source ATI driver in the near future with KMS, ati_dri.so, and EGL/miniGLX. (With a little bit of hacking of course.)
The open source driver is WAY too slow.

I want to know if there is the possibility of using KMS, fglrx_dri.so et al., and EGL/miniGLX? Are there things in the Catalyst driver that are preventing this?

I have a system running with X now, but it doesn't really use it. (Other than the obvious screen buffer.)

Thanks!

The open source driver will have improved performance once the memory manager is completed, and should be able to get *close* to fglrx.
