About GtkFB:
|
||||
------------
|
||||
The linux-fb port of Gtk+, also known as GtkFB is an implementation of
|
||||
gdk (and therefor gtk) that runs on the linux framebuffer. It runs in
|
||||
a single process that doesn't need X. It should run most Gtk+ programs
|
||||
without any changes to the source.
|
||||
|
||||
Build requirements:
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
To run GtkFB programs you will need glib, pango and gtk from cvs
|
||||
HEAD. Make sure you update these at the same time, since changes to
|
||||
glib and pango often forces changes in gtk+. Pango optionally depends
|
||||
on libfribidi, but for normal GtkFB usage that can be ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
You also need freetype 2, I recommend that you use freetype 2.0.1 or
|
||||
later, as there was some problems with freetype-config in 2.0.
|
||||
Freetype can be found at ftp://ftp.freetype.org
|
||||
|
||||
Hardware requirements:
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
You need a graphics card with an availible framebuffer driver that can
|
||||
run in 8, 16, 24 or 32 bpp. I use the matroxfb driver, but i.e. vesafb
|
||||
should work too. You also need a supported mouse. Currently supported
|
||||
is ps2 mouse, ms serial mouse and fidmour touchscreen.
|
||||
|
||||
Building and installing:
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
First build and install glib and pango as usual, in that order.
|
||||
|
||||
Then configure Gtk by running configure (or autogen.sh if running from
|
||||
cvs) with --with-gdktarget=linux-fb.
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure that pango and gtk+ are installed in the same prefix, as
|
||||
gtk+ installs a new pango module that pango must be able to find.
|
||||
|
||||
Then compile as ususal: make; make install
|
||||
|
||||
This installs a new pango module that pango must be instructed to
|
||||
find. This is done by running something like:
|
||||
pango-querymodules > /your_prefix/etc/pango/pango.modules
|
||||
(look at this file and make sure it contains a row with fb-basic.so.
|
||||
|
||||
Fonts:
|
||||
------
|
||||
Since GtkFB uses freetype 2 to render fonts it can render truetype and
|
||||
postscript type 1 antialiased fonts. At startup it scans these
|
||||
directories looking for any fonts:
|
||||
/usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType
|
||||
/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1
|
||||
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
|
||||
/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
|
||||
$(prefix)/share/fonts
|
||||
|
||||
It also has a hardcoded font alias handling. This is important because
|
||||
most program refers to the standard fonts by the names "Sans", "Serif"
|
||||
and "Monotype". The default aliases in GtkFB maps these to the
|
||||
M$ truetype fonts: Arial, Times New Roman, and Courier New (you need
|
||||
to own a copy of Windows to use these) and the type1 fonts URW Gothic,
|
||||
URW Bookman and Courier. You will need to have at least Arial or URW
|
||||
Gothic installed, because the "Sans" font is used as a last case font.
|
||||
|
||||
Running:
|
||||
--------
|
||||
To run a program you should only need to start it, but there are some
|
||||
things that can cause problems, and some things that can be controlled
|
||||
by environment variables. Try testgtk distributed with gtk+ to test
|
||||
if things work.
|
||||
|
||||
If you use a ps2 mouse, make sure that /dev/psaux is readable and
|
||||
writable.
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure gpm is not running.
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't specify anything GtkFB will start up in the current
|
||||
virtual console in the current resolution and bit-depth. This can be
|
||||
changed by specifying environment variables:
|
||||
|
||||
GDK_VT:
|
||||
unset means open on the current VT.
|
||||
0-9: open on the specified VT. Make sure you have read/write rights
|
||||
there.
|
||||
new: Allocate a new VT after the last currently used one.
|
||||
|
||||
GDK_DISPLAY_MODE:
|
||||
Specifies the name of a mode in /etc/fb.modes that you want to use.
|
||||
|
||||
GDK_DISPLAY_DEPTH:
|
||||
Specify the desired bit depth of the framebuffer.
|
||||
|
||||
GDK_DISPLAY_WIDTH:
|
||||
Specify the desired width of the framebuffer.
|
||||
|
||||
GDK_DISPLAY_HEIGHT:
|
||||
Specify the desired height of the framebuffer.
|
||||
|
||||
GDK_DISPLAY:
|
||||
Specify the framebuffer device to use. Default is /dev/fb0
|
||||
|
||||
GDK_MOUSE_TYPE:
|
||||
Specify mouse type. Currently supported is:
|
||||
ps2 - PS/2 mouse
|
||||
ms - Microsoft serial mouse
|
||||
fidmour - touch screen
|
||||
Default is ps2.
|
||||
|
||||
GDK_KEYBOARD_TYPE:
|
||||
Specify keyboard type. Currently suppored is
|
||||
xlate - normal tty mode keyboard. Somewhat limited.
|
||||
raw - read from the tty in RAW mode.
|
||||
Warning, can cause problems if the GtkFB program crashes
|
||||
and the mode is not restored. You must run as root to use
|
||||
this.
|
||||
Default is xlate.
|
||||
|
||||
HACKING:
|
||||
--------
|
||||
To be written.
