Hi Raegis,

CCing to the ufo devel list, as this might be interesting for others as well.

It is theoretically possible and supposed to work, but I haven't tried it yet.
Video drivers can be injected via UVideoPlugin. See include/ufo/uplugin.hpp

But in the beginning, it might be easier to use the dummy video 
driver "dummygl" and set up the window in your application. See for example 
test/sdl.cpp

It takes a little bit of time to create a video driver which supports all 
attributes (and probably none of the provided video drivers support all 
stuff).

Thanks, I will look into this.
