You can open a graphics screen and write to the bitplanes.  This is
how /usr/amiga/bin/fractal was written.

You do not need to write graphics applications under X but for now that
is the easiest way.  We may supply a graphics library in the future.

In a hackish sort of way you could open /dev/amiga and write to the
graphics chips.  A windowing system was written to take advantage of
this.
