README

        
1. OVERVIEW

    fbv (FrameBuffer Viewer) is a simple program to view pictures on

  a linux framebuffer device. In 2000, when fbv was created, there

  were no other situable programs performing the same task, so the

  authors decided to follow the rule: 'If you need a tool - write

  it yourself!' :-)

2. REQUIREMENTS

  - Linux, configured to provide the framebuffer device interface

    (/dev/fb0 or /dev/fb/0)

  - libungif for GIF support

  - libjpeg for JPEG support

  - libpng for PNG support

3. INSTALLATION

  - unpack the archive (you've propably already done it)

  - run ./configure

  - type: make

  - type: make install

  - enjoy...

4. USAGE

    Just run fbv without any arguments, and a short help message

  will appear...

6. BUGS & TODO

  - the code is really awfully formated and requires some fixes...

  - the english in messages is not the best at all :-)

7. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

  - Nat Ersoz - for his suggestions and bugfixes

  - Mauro Meneghin - for the transparent GIF support

  - Marcin 'Piaskowy' Zieba - for his minor bugfixes
