What is it?
eix says Framebuffer internationalized terminal emulator and the
homepage is supposed to be
http://www-124.ibm.com/linux/projects/iterm/;
It seems this is a IBM decoy, since it gets mercilessly redirected to
http://www.ibm.com/us/
(I really really hate this kind of behaviour!)
Anyone using this? I'm just curious about how far one can go without
X...
And thus sprach Google:
http://www.openi18n.org/modules.php?op=modloadname=Sectionsfile=indexreq=viewarticleartid=18page=1
If you search on IBM.com, they now link almost all opensource/linux
projects to their respective consortium/SF pages.
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/views/linux/projects.jsp
Unfortunately, the openi18n webpages seems a bit outdated. So it might
be possible that, unlike the link above suggests, fbiterm actually has
decent IM support now.
Best of luck with your quest. Just for reference, I've found it quite
possible to run X-less on my laptop for the most part. I browse the
web in links2 with framebuffer support. For CJK, I run zhcon over
framebuffer, and browse the web in w3mmee. fbida is a good
image/pdf/ps viewer for framebuffer. I only really start X when I feel
the need to have many terminals open side by side, do some gimp stuff,
or run dosbox to play games.
