The saying goes
  - once is happenstance
  - twice is just circumstance
  - the third time and you have discovered a Natural Law

So what does this have to do with anything?

Well, I now have a revitalized vm-display-fbdev working on
   Raspberry Pi 3           -- Alpine Linux
   Raspberry Pi 4           -- Alpine Linux
and
   LePotato (AML-s905x-cc)  -- Armbian (Debian) Linux

Which run Squeak and Cuis images.

Uses libevdev and a framebuffer.  Works with libc or MUSL.  No X11!


Look, ma! Smalltalk IS the window system!

Having done it is a proof of concept.  ;^)

  or just the salients in

See some notes in the top-level directories and look at 
'build.linux68ARMv8/HowToBuild'.

Any help in Sqeakifying/cleaning the sources is appreciated.

I only use Arm chips. Any brave souls want to test using amd64/intel?

Enjoy!
