Hi Samuel,

            Thanks for reply. Now i can create a QGLFrameBuffer with 
empty data means black screen.

           But just i am looking at the examples and no where i can find 
how to write texts into the buffer and displaying it.
          And how to hide the buffer from showing in the widget.
          Actually my requirements are to write some string data into 
the buffer and display it on the secondary LCD device which takes buffer 
for rendering the data.

Regards
 Trinath
