Summary	0002845: Unable to start netsurf in the framebuffer
Description	Hello, same downstream Gentoo user here :D When trying to start netsurf in the framebuffer, this is what I get: ``` Unable to open display Error initialising wayland connection Unable to initialise framebuffer ``` I'm using Sam's patch to get it to build successfully, and tried with a few (but not all) combinations of USE flags.
Steps To Reproduce	A) build latest netsurf on gentoo with `fbcon` USE flag B) try running netsurf-fb C) no worko I think this problem has something more to do with my system than the gentoo package, lmk any additional info you need :)
