Hello everyone! I'm on Debian Stretch and I'm trying to approach the framebuffer for the first time, just for fun. My final aim is to run framebuffer applications inside tmux.
Here I've seen that the best way to do this is to run tmux inside fbterm (at least for Arch), so i installed fbterm from repos. The problem is that no framebuffer application seems to work inside fbterm, whereas they work perfectly fine outside fbterm both in X and in tty. For instance when i run w3m (with w3m-img) i can't see any image in any website, while i see them running w3m in a plain tty. Another example is running fbi in tty, which works out of the box in a simple tty shell, but if i run
or
I obtain
ioctl VT_GETSTATE: Inappropriate ioctl for device (not a linux console?)
I have the same issue running fbterm as root. Just for clarity, everything I tried so far is outside of tmux. Am I missing something?
Thanks a lot!
