Hi, I finally made some progress with getting graphics enabled in links browser under dslinux and wanted to share it before I went to bed.

http://gpf.dcemu.co.uk/linksG4s.png

links -g -dither-images 1 -display-optimize 1 -html-image-scale 50 www.google.com


My port of gpm to dslinux still needs some work in libgpm, so the mouse isn't working yet. And there are alot of graphicaly problems with fonts, but the graphics show up great if they fit the screen size :)

I have made more progress this evening and have got the mouse working in links now, with some updates to libgpm

so far this seems to be the best way to start it
links -g -dither-images 1 -display-optimize 1 -html-image-scale 90 -menu-font-size 8 -aspect-on 1 -dither-letters 1 -html-user-font-size 8 www.google.com

It's working pretty good so far, still some problems with screen not refreshing and some font problems in the menus and occasionally in the screen.

The good thing is if you don't specifigy -g when starting links, it works as before except if GPM is running, you can use the text console mouse :)

still WIP so I haven't submitted it yet, I have only tested it on the RAM build on my m3sd so not sure if it will work on other builds but I would assume that memory limatations of other cards might make it useless or not work.

With the new changes to dslinux using svn now and links and libssl have completly changed their build process, I can't get them to work. So as soon as I can figure out how to get that working I will resume working on graphical links.

It should be in the official builds in a few days, but for the time being here's a sneaky peek. It's very ropey, but at least it's not fake!

DSLinux with Graphical Links (http://www.filefactory.com/file/628b02)

Run with:
links -g -dither-images 1 -display-optimize 1 -html-image-scale 90 -menu-font-size 8 -aspect-on 1 -dither-letters 1 -html-user-font-size 8

YMMV

Why did they have to make downloading files on that site so hard?

A couple of questions. First how are you doing on the Graphical Links browser? And does anyone know where I can download the text only version of the Links browser for my Nintendo DS?
