I want to be able to run an fbtv to a framebuffer device on my "pvr",
but in trying to test the concept I am running into troubles trying to
start fbtv from an xterm. This is what I get:
$ ssh root@pvr xterm
[ on xterm on "pvr" ]:
# fbtv -v -M -d /dev/fb0
using linux console font "/usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/lat1-16.psf.gz"
ERROR: tty is not a linux console. You can not start this
tool from a pseudo tty (xterm/ssh/screen/...).
# fbtv -v -M -d /dev/fb0 </dev/vc/0
using linux console font "/usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/lat1-16.psf.gz"
WARNING: remote display `localhost:10.0' not allowed, using `:10.0' instead
I want the keyboard input for the fbtv to come from the xterm. Can I
not do this? Is there a technical reason or was the above just put
into place to stop the "unaware"?
Also, on my system, /dev/fb0 is a Matrox G400 with the CRTCs swapped
so that fb0 is the TV-Out port with the BES rerouted to it. It does
not seem to be scaling the output to my 800x600 framebuffer. I must
be missing something.
Thanx,
b.
