The default ownerships/ permissions for /dev/fb0 is as follows: crw-rw-rw- 1 root tty 29, 0 Apr 21 1999 /dev/fb0 This is as per the MAKEDEV script and kernel docs. Changing it to 666 is unlikely to have any effect. > BTW, links with graphics support is very good even on console. > Agreed here. This is my default browser for 90% of net work ! The current w3m is also very good for console.
