fte for DEBIAN ---------------------- * if you are using some non-iso encodings like KOI8-R please check your Compose file if you are worried about warning message. This problem is known - if you know how to fix this, please let me know. * usage of vfte on linux console together with iso8859-X fonts might be better if ISOCONSOLE shell variable is set. (e.g. for bash export ISOCONSOLE=y ; fte) * before reporting bugs about problems with i18n support for xfte try to make sure, your locales are correct and you use them properly (e.g. LANG=en_US xfte) * try to use sfte instead of vfte * vfte requires access to dev/vcsa* as the of the security problem with write access to this device this program has to be suid - however only for the opening this device - than it gives up its root privileges and goes back to the normal user uid,gid * And since vfte uses dev/vcsa directly, you can't use it on anything else but a virtual console. * vfte is not compiled with GPM support, because it's buggy and I didn't want vfte to be the reason to buy a mouse. * fte has still bugs, so use with caution (especially vfte, cuz it locks the keyboard if it crashes...), and report any reproducible bugs found. * To make your own configurations, make sure you have the package fte-docs installed on your system and unpack the file config-example.tar.gz to $HOME/.fte/. Run the program: cfte $HOME/.fte/main.fte Report any useful improvements and new Color modes. * read the BUGS file. Zdenek Kabelac Riku Voipio
