Graphics-Framebuffer

This module REQUIRES access to the video framebuffer, usually
"/dev/fb0".  You must be using a video device and driver that exposes this
device to software.  In order to achieve its "magic", the framebuffer must
be allowed to be mapped to a variable.  Video cards with their proprietary
drivers are not likely to work.  However, most open-sourced drivers,
seem to work fine.  VirtualBox drivers work too.

INSTALLATION

To install this module, run the following commands:

	perl Makefile.PL
	make
	make test
	make install

FURTHER TEST SCRIPTS

To test the installation properly.  Log into the text console (not X).
Go to the 'examples' directory and run 'frtest.pl'.  This basically calls
most of the features of the module.  It, as a bonus, also demonstrates how to
use threads with this module.  You can pass a number in on the command line
to the "frtest.pl" script, and it will use that many threads.  The default is
only 2 threads.
