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 :)
