is there an easy way to get a framebuffer with DRM without using fbdev?

It's not super easy. You need to allocate a buffer, modeset the display and commit the buffer.

But if you're doing that, then you've implemented a big portion of a display server. So... Just use one.

"dumb buffers" it's called. man drm-memory
