Actually the solution given in README.Debian is not strictly necessary,
and is probably a Bad Idea.
You can do something like this:
In
/etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules
(For example, setting user "foo" as a member of group "tty" and
making devices writable by that group as follows:
KERNEL=="mice" GROUP="tty", MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="tty[0-9]*" GROUP="tty", MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="fb0" GROUP="tty", MODE="0660" )
Unfortunately, although this enables links2 -g with directfb *from a command
prompt*, it will still
fail when called *from a bash script* . This is an issue if for example you
have set up a menu using bash
along the lines of
read -s -n 1
case $REPLY in
1)
links2 -g http://google.com
menu
;;
2)
elinks http://google.com
menu
. ;;
*)
menu
;;
esac
Where "menu" is a function, and so on.
links2 -g -driver fb <some_url_here>
*will* run from such a script/menu , but the mouse loses the directfb feature
of enabling the scroll wheel,
and the "fb" driver is slow, with the mouse pointer far less responsive.
A solution to the "Won't run from a script" issue would be appreciated, if such
a solution exists...
I need this for a live CD without X that uses menus etc....
