have just uploaded an updated TEST version of GFXterm for 64-bit Linux:
https://github.com/robert-rozee/GFXterm/blob/test/binaries/GFXterm%20Linux-64
(clicking View Raw should start downloading the binary)
the main changes are:
(a) it should run ok if ALSA sound support is not available,
(b) serial port detection is fixed for kernel 6.8 and later
(no longer lists a large number of 'phantom' ttySxx ports),
(c) there is now an 'about' entry in the drop-down menu and associated
'about popup, from which you can click a button to save the .PDF
manual to the Desktop (manual is embedded in the binary),
(d) the manual has been updated and expanded.
a fair bit of other code has also been 'tinkered with' over the last 18 months. i'm hopeful i've not inadvertently broken anything! if nothing is found wrong, i'll post Linux-32 and Win-32 versions along with updates source code to GitHub.
would some of you who are running Linux (64-bit only for the moment) please download and test the binary? should work with the pico version of MMbasic provided you set the screen size to 100 x something (for VGA).
cheers,
rob :-)
