|
||||
the GTK frontend is a vastly superior choice. The framebuffer
|
||||
frontend will appear exceptionally limited on such capable systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Running
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
The framebuffer frontend is executed with the nsfb command. This
|
||||
command takes parameters to control the operation of the
|
||||
browser. The 'Configuring' section describes the available options
|
||||
in detail.
|
||||
|
||||
The selection of the display surface is controlled with the -f
|
||||
switch, the available display surfaces can be shown by passing '?'
|
||||
as the parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./nsfb -f ?
|
||||
./nsfb: Valid surface names are:
|
||||
./nsfb: ram
|
||||
./nsfb: sdl
|
||||
./nsfb: x
|
||||
./nsfb: vnc
|
||||
./nsfb: wld
|
||||
|
||||
The avilable surfaces are dependant on what was compiled into the
|
||||
nsfb library.
|
||||
|
||||
Common issues
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
- The browser appears to "hang" with no output
|
||||
|
||||
This is often cause by the unintentianal selection of the debug
|
||||
"ram" surface. In this case the browser is in fact operating but
|
||||
the output is being rendered to a memory buffer. the solution is
|
||||
to explictly select the intended surface using the -f switch
|
||||
|
||||
- The displayed browser interface has no visible icons
|
||||
|
||||
This is generally because the necessary resources are not availale
|
||||
on the resource search path.
|
||||
|
||||
- There is no displayed text.
|
||||
|
||||
The font configuration is incorrect either it has been compiled
|
||||
wrongly or the configured freetype font is not available
|
||||
|
||||
- The browser messages are "bad"
|
||||
|
||||
If the browser messages are being emited as unrecognisable short
|
||||
text symbols or in the wrong language it is likely the Messages
|
||||
file could not be located. This can be confirmed by looking for
|
||||
the text "Message translations failed to load" in the verbose log
|
||||
output (run the browser with the -v switch)
