Re: Color support for wsfb/Amiga

[Rin Okuyama <rokuyama.rk%gmail.com@localhost>]

Jukka, thank you very much for committing your works!

I've added support for amiga fb to pkgsrc/x11/mlterm:
(Although its category is x11, it has a variant which
runs standalone on framebuffer driver.)

You can use sixel-based graphic applications, e.g.,
pkgsrc/net/sayaka on it.

Note that pkgsrc version depends on x11/gtk3, and build will take
more than a week even on 68060. If you'd like to try more easily:

(1) apply patch-uitoolkit_fb_ui__display__wscons.c from pkgsrc
(2) ./configure --with-gui=fb && make && sudo make install

Then, /usr/local/bin/mlterm-fb works on framebuffer.

Thanks for your comment.

Since mlterm-fb works almost as is:

http://www.nerv.org/pkgsrc/changeset.cgi?id=20220707T000442Z.9627b7c5c951d8499af035a03b6ba92bf0daece2#pkgsrc/x11/mlterm/patches/patch-uitoolkit_fb_ui__display__wscons.c

I guess that support for 8-bpp fb on luna should be trivial.

I tried to work by myself, but unfortunately, neither nono nor
gxemul support 8-bpp fb...

Thanks,
