Links for dslinux with graphics

**GPF** · November 24th, 2006, 08:31

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.

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

Sweet! We may get an image-enabled homebrew browser working yet!

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

so, does this one require having RAM?

where can I download? I already have the other version of Links btw, love it!

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.
