cog support for linux framebuffer!

CONTENTS DELETED

Hi Mayuresh,

you can run Squeak headless in a non-X11 environment using RFB.

I use rfb-ikp.8.mcz on a virtual server, tunneling TightVNC through SSH.

I haven't yet tried on my Raspberry Pi because Running Squeak under X is
ok for me, doing development for the Pi on a Laptop.
But I will do that when I put the Pi outside where I can't connect a
monitor.

This I how I modified the Squeak all in one script to run headless on
the server without X:
exec "$BIN/squeak" "-vm-display-null" "-headless" "-nosound" "$@"

Cheers,

Herbert

It should, yes.

Indeed, and the last time I tried, it worked. Ian's fbdev-driver is in Cog, too:
