Ken this is interesting for me. <br>
<br>
At the moment I can't fork into it, but I am willing to test in the
future. I run mostly in servers.<br>

I noticed the color is a bit off and the window buttons have
black squares around them, so I guess something isint setup
right. The mouse works, but the keyboard is still typing into
console, with a cursor flashing in the bottom left of the screen
(like a bit of the console is poking out). If you have any
advice to fix that I'd appreciate it many thanks :)

Attached are replacement files for those in
opensmalltalk-vm/platforms/unix/vm-display-fbdev/
<br>
<br>
If you replace the files, then do the "mvm" "y", the
vm-display-fbdev.so library should be rebuilt.
<br>
<br>
These files update the help text ("squeak --help") for framebuffer
to what is actually there as well as allowing the keyboard device
binding to work (/dev/input/event?).
<br>
<br>
ls -lasth /dev/input/by-id
<br>
<br>
should show the binding names required.
<br>
e.g.
<br>
export SQUEAK_KBDEV=/dev/input/event0
<br>
if
<br>
usb-Logitech-USB_Receiver_if01_event_kbd -> ../event0
<br>
<br>
The "box around button" effect is, I believe, a figment of the
quality of the framebuffer library. I believe I saw this in early
experiments on Raspberry Pi, but do not see it on LePotato. I'll
have to fire up a RasPi to check. .. Nope. Looks good on
Raspberry Pi 3 on Raspberry Pi OS. No idea. Have to look around.
<br>
<br>
The blinking cursor shows through because I did not "capture" it
via the evdev support. It is a bit complex to figure out, does
not bother me much, and reminds me I am in framebuffer mode.
Useful when I forget and fire up a framebuffer display which takes
turns overwriting with X11 if I have started that as well.
<br>
<br>
If anyone want to look at this..
