The part I'm struggling with most is figuring out what kind of Framebuffer I need to create to pass in to the FramebufferDisplay constructor.

this type of display ?

Correct. I've got is connected to a Qt PY ESP32-s3

#

What I have found is the shared module is31fl3741, but that's only available for 1 controller. Not sure why.

well I don't know, I think there is a way to take adafruit_is31fl3741 and wrap a framebuf compatible class around it, or you can try compiling is31fl3741 for the S3 (it doesn't look like it's port-specific)

Would a github issue be the right avenue to request that the compatibility be expanded for that shared module? I will try to go down the path of making a compatible framebuf class with what's in the adafruit module. I tried going down this route before with a dotstar matrix, but I got tangled up in the python typing checks.

you can open an issue asking about enabling the module on more generic boards
