As you maybe know I’m currently working on the book about texttools. I’d like to include a chapter with some details on terminals. But documentation about raw-, cooked-queue and so on sucks^Wdoesn’t really exist ;-(. The only useful documentation I could find is the Single UNIX © Specification on “General Terminal Interface” and of course sourcecode of texttools working with terminals 8-).

And what I don’t like (hey, this should become a rant 8-)): I’d like to have image-support (which looks really great in “links -driver x”!) in framebuffer-mode, but:

[mika@tweety(545): ~/tmp/links2-2.1pre15]$ ./configure --with-fb --enable-graphics
[...]
Configuration results:
GPM support:            NO
SSL support:            YES
Javascript enabled:     NO
Graphics enabled:       YES
Graphics drivers:       X
Image formats:          GIF PNG XBM JPEG
xterm for OS/2 support: NO

And of course a “ldd ./links” shows that ‘links’ is not compiled against libdirectfb & CO. Grml! Ok, I’ll try to figure it out in the next few days. The duel links vs. w3m is still going on :)
