Q: 

How does Android Opengl implementation work?

I've read on the Android developers site that Android graphics subsystem (Surface Manager) is based on Linux Frame Buffer device. I was just wondering how OpenGl Es works with it... does it use special 3D drivers for FB (like directfb, but this seems improbable as it seems died). How is it implemented?? I can't find any info around...

I'm just asking because I'd like to try to compile Android on Linux.
