FbTerm is a fast terminal emulator for linux with the frame buffer device
|
|
or a VESA video card.
|
|
|
|
fbterm supports the mouse (provided gpm is running) and is able to
|
|
share the console with (some) other applications, such as "mplayer -vo
|
|
fbdev2". It also uses the same fonts as X, and renders them with lovely
|
|
antialiasing like modern X terminals. fbterm has *much* better Unicode
|
|
support than the plain Linux framebuffer console.
|
|
|
|
Also included is a handy utility called checkfb, which simply checks
|
|
for the presence and usability of the framebuffer device, and shows its
|
|
resolution and bit depth.
|
|
|
|
This package uses POSIX filesystem capabilities to execute with
|
|
elevated privileges (required for keyboard shortcuts and console
|
|
redirection). This may be considered a security risk. Please read
|
|
http://www.slackbuilds.org/caps/ for more information. To disable
|
|
capabilities, pass SETCAP=no to the script. See also the SECURITY
|
|
NOTES section in the fbterm man page.
