Hi,

I have crosscompiled graphical links 2.1 for an embedded platform with
framebuffer driver support. The problem is, when I type,

links -g -driver fb

I get the error: Cannot get VT mode.

This is caused by the function call:

fb_switch_init(), in framebuffer.c,

on line 836, where

ioctl( TTY, VT_GETMODE, &vt_omode); takes place.

here, TTY is 0 and vt_omode is of type struct vt_mode, declared previously.

I try the same call on my host machine and it fails there as well.
Should TTY be really 0 here? Isnt this the stdin file descriptor?
Please help me on this.

Thanks,
Bahadir
