Re: [arch-general] Surviving without X

Not really, maybe you can look at the kernel's fbcon driver. fbdev seems pretty dead, maybe you can look at directfb, wich seemed to be active until 2008. Good luck, Charly On Sun, Apr 12, 2009 at 9:08 AM, Maurí­cio wrote: > Do you know where can I find documentation > on fbdev? Framebuffer how

Re: [arch-general] Surviving without X

Do you know where can I find documentation on fbdev? Framebuffer howton is really old (2000), and web site has no doc links. Thanks, Maurício A good font for unicode is terminal. Ive tried no x on an old box few years ago. Directfb was interesting, but not really useful by then. Their homepage

A good font for unicode is terminal. Ive tried no x on an old box few years ago. Directfb was interesting, but not really useful by then. Their homepage contains many interesting projects, like a graphical and eye-candy login manager. I rather used the basic fbdev. Sdl can output to it, thats real

Re: [arch-general] Surviving without X

I don't know about inserting unicode characters, but I tested the lat2 font for handling unicode a few days ago. It seems accents and certain cyrillic characters work ok, but japanese, korean etc do not work. I guess it just provides a unicode mapping, but not all unicode characters. I haven't tes

I only use the X when I draw or watch a video, rather well, as saving memory. There is a very interesting package that can watch videos without FB, only in text mode, it is called aaxine and cacaxine. Also use the mplayer with the FB, but i dont like. =D Many graphics make me confused =D Best re

I'm not quite sure where it is, but if you have the time to search, there is a thread on the arch bbs about doing exactly what you want. A lot of applications and hints/tips are in there. On Sun, Mar 29, 2009 at 9:29 PM, Juan Diego wrote: > mplayer also has a fb output plugin > > On Mon, Mar 30,
