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...
