Changes for version 5.91

  • Removed the path info from the CPAN test script, as it was causing unnecessary troubles (causing C compilation to fail).
  • Theoretically, running (even installing) via a SSH session is possible, but I make no guarantees as to its success, as what is allowed is mostly dependent on the SSH server's permissions granted to the user's session etc. If you log in directly on the console, and everything works, then there is nothing wrong with this module, and your SSH specific troubleshooting will have to be your own. However, with that said, make sure the user with which you are using SSH belongs to the "video" group and has read/write permissions to the "/dev/fb[0-31]" devices, specifically the fb device you need to operate on. You also need to make sure that X-Windows is not active on the display, even if the display you are using the module with isn't mapped to X-Windows.
  • When installing the module, you can bypass the test portion, if it is giving you troubles. In all likelihood, the module will work if the installation criteria are met. This means use:
    • force install Graphics::Framebuffer
  • if you are installing using CPAN.
