Package: fbi
Version: 2.09-1+b1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

The fbgs wrapper for fbi is great for viewing PDF files from the Linux console, 
however it shows them in black and white 
by default. There is a command line option to enable color, but it would make 
more sense to default to color and have 
black and white be an option.

I have included a patch which does exactly that. I've also included a patch for 
the man page.

Thanks!

Ben
