~0001748 Alastair Hughes (reporter) 2018-04-16 05:27	This is probably because the netsurf process has insufficient permissions to access the device. Try running as root. If that fixes the issue, changing /dev/input/mouse to be readable by the netsurf process should be an OK temporary fix. To be clear I don't think this is a netsurf issue - this needs to be fixed with a (say) udev rule or group membership change.

~0001749 mxfm (reporter) 2018-04-16 06:14	I just compiled 3.7 version with TARGET=framebuffer and run nsfb with sudo at non-X console. Now I have slighly different message: Message translations failed to load. Unable to set video: Couldn't set console screen info. Unable to initialize framebuffer. The message about the mouse is gone, but now something is wrong with screen info.

~0001750 mxfm (reporter) 2018-04-16 06:20	Some additional information which may be usefull. As a comparison, I opened video with mplayer in non-X console with '-vo fbdev' option. It didn't played with following error: VO: [fbdev] 640x480 => 640x480 BGRA FATAL: cannot initialize video driver.t However, it playes perfectly with '-vo fbdev2'. Fbdev2 as alternative framebuffer backend. I do not now which frontend uses netsurf, but it may use the non-working one.

~0001751 Alastair Hughes (reporter) 2018-04-16 08:20	Does the sdl backend for mplayer work? A google suggests that this could be caused by the monitor not supporting the default 800x600 resolution (set in http://source.netsurf-browser.org/libnsfb.git/tree/src/surface/surface.c#n47). Perhaps try changing that to the normal size of the monitor?

~0002183 Alan (reporter) 2020-04-18 23:47	Like OP, I seem to be having difficulty initializing the nsfb surface on my raspberry pi 3B+. See uploaded file for output of nsfb -v -b 16 It's the same whether run from a terminal emulator or tty or use sudo.
