Hi Geert,
You don't need X to run fbtest. Even better, do _not_ run it
under X! All you need is a kernel with atafb.
I've got such a kernel. :-)
quoted
Just tell me where I can find the above mentioned ramdisk.
It's not yet available. Don't expect it before next weekend, though.
My installed Linux setup is approx. 2 years old, so as you can see I am a
very patient person. ;-)
To compile your own fbtest, all you need is a working C
compiler, netpbm, and cvs to get the sources.
As X11 doesn't work any longer on my machine :-( and the 2.0.36 kernels are
quite old now I don't have a current working setup with the above mentioned
programs but I would like to help us much as possible (e.g. testing the
ramdisk).
Regards,
Frank

This patch fixes the syntax in fbtest so that gcc 3.2
is happy. I also adjusted the libs for the current
version of libnetpbm.
I went searching for libnetpnm which doesn't seem to
exist standalone any more. It is part of libnetpbm
now.

Hmm, this one is more problematic. It seems to depend on your distribution (I
use Debian).
