• The 'Frame buffer interface' is obsolete ? What is its successor ?

    Hello all,

    Some time ago I found the "frame buffer interface" and was able to draw some simple graphics thru it. Than I tried to enable a hardware mouse cursor,
    but got nowhere fast :-(

    So, did some searching for how enable such a mouse cursor thru the "mailbox interface" and found this :

    https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/wiki/Mailbox-framebuffer-interface

    , which mentions that the "frame buffer interface" is obsolete (at least
    since 2018).

    tl;dr:
    As the "frame buffer interface" is said to be obsolete, what is its
    successor ?

    Remark:
    This is for a command-console only installation of Linux on an RPi 1b (no
    GUI)
