Hm, lynx uses the ncurses library to drive the terminal i think,
whereas we drive it on our own, mostly. You could try
image/jpg; fbi -e -noverbose --autodown %s; needsterminal
which maybe helps?
This flag field indicates that the given shell command must be
run on an interactive terminal. S-nail will temporarily re-
lease the terminal to the given command in interactive mode, in
nonâinteractive mode this entry will be entirely ignored; this
flag implies x-mailx-noquote.
Framebuffer console! I really loved it twenty years ago, when it
"suddenly was there" after installing a new Linux distro which
came with it! Now that made me look, "by then" there was
a library noted in i think the Linux Magazin (Germany), and now
searching for it yes it was DirectFB, and that lead me to
DirectFB2 on github, and that reads: "2021-12-06 Revival of
DirectFB" !! Hey! Back in that day, i shortly dreamed of such an
environment! Today i will not work without a graphical browser
here. hm.
That reminded me that dire 13 months ago we had this with another
program, and i then also (beside needsterminal) said
I also have CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y.
P.S.: i was coming over
https://git.kraxel.org/cgit/fbida/tree/fbpdf.c#n324
and
https://git.kraxel.org/cgit/fbida/tree/vt.c#n84
in case that helps.
Try adding VT_CONSOLE.
Did it help? Hm. Try "needsterminal".
Does this help?
