For standalone XR systems or systems that don't support these extensions, it is possible to use `VK_KHR_display` and `VK_KHR_display_swapchain` directly on KMS/DRM without running X.Org altogether.
-This is currently not implemented in Monado, but will be supported eventually.
+Monado v21.0.0 introduces such a VkDisplayKHR based backend. Its internal structure is very similar to the nvidia backend.
+
+This backend requires the Vulkan driver to gain exclusive ("drm master") control over the display hardware. This means that an X server or wayland compositor must not be control the "active" vt, it must be a text vt (an X server running "in the background" can still be running in the background). The active vt can be switched with Ctrl+Alt+F1 to F12 or `sudo chvt 1` to 12.
+
+This backend is only enabled when the environment variable `XRT_COMPOSITOR_FORCE_VK_DISPLAY=0` is used. Its value is the nth display connector. Using a too big number like `XRT_COMPOSITOR_FORCE_VK_DISPLAY=100` will print the available display connectors and the names of the connected displays.
+
+Note that X servers may not handle well switching to them while the monado compositor is running. Switching to another text vt should work fine.
+
+Many OpenXR applications will require to be started with an X server - however X servers that are "running in the background" may not accept connections for applications that use the GPU. See [Tegra]({% link tegra.md %}) for an example of how to get it working on the proprietary nvidia driver.
+
+An OpenXR application that does not require an X server is hello_xr with the Vulkan backend: `hello_xr -G Vulkan`.
+
+This implementation has been tested on amd (radv) and the proprietary nvidia driver.

+cd glslang

+# Direct Mode
+
+The Vulkan driver for nvidia Tegra does not support vulkan based direct mode (VK_EXT_acquire_xlib_display, VK_EXT_direct_mode_display).
+
+[Response from nvidia](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/vk-ext-direct-mode-display-not-present-in-vulkan-1-2-on-jetpack-4-4/161593/2):
+
+> VK_EXT_direct_mode_display is not required for doing direct mode through Vulkan on Jetson. VK_KHR_display and VK_KHR_display_swapchain are supported and those can be used for direct display mode.
+
+See the `Vulkan on KMS/DRM` section in [Direct Mode]({% link direct-mode.md %}) for details of the implementation in Monado.
+
+## Applications that require X11
+
+Graphical applications do not properly connect to a normally running X server.
+
+It is possible to run an offscreen X server that runs graphical applications.
+
+Save a modified copy of the xorg.conf file as
+
+/etc/X11/xorg.conf.offscreen
+```

+# This is the minimal configuration necessary to use the Tegra driver.

+# options provided by the X server, including display-related options
+# provided by RandR 1.2 and higher.

+
+Then run an X server with the command `Xorg -config ./xorg.conf.offscreen :10`. It should drop to a text vt console.
+
+Now it is possible to use both `XRT_COMPOSITOR_FORCE_VK_DISPLAY=0` to let the Monado compositor use the display, and to start an OpenGL application that requires an X server with `DISPLAY=:10`, for example `DISPLAY=:10 hello_xr -G OpenGL`.
