Just change the terminal, no the shellJust change the terminal, no the shellPosted Jun 26, 2008 15:07 UTC (Thu) by endecotp (guest, #36428)In reply to: Just change the terminal, no the shell by ballombe Parent article: Hotwire: a combined terminal/GUI for GNU/Linux (Free Software Magazine)
> Actually you can do that in the Linux framebuffer. Hmm, I just tried "cat foo.jpeg" and got the garbage characters that I was expecting. Is there something that I have to enable?

Just change the terminal, no the shell Posted Jun 27, 2008 12:21 UTC (Fri) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] It is *possible* to write code such that that works in the Linux framebuffer (compared to, say, xterm: w3m can display images in that but there's no way it'll work with scrollback or anything because w3m is just blatting images into the same X window: xterm doesn't know anything about it).
