.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B fbgs
-is a simple wrapper script which takes a PostScript or pdf
-file as input, renders the pages using ghostscript into a
-temporary directory and finally calls fbi to display them.

.SH OPTIONS
-fbps understands all fbi options (they are passed through).
-Additionally you can specify -l, -xl or -xxl to get the pages
-rendered with 100, 120 or 150 dpi (default is 75). You can

-because there are no safety bells: If you ask fbi to delete the image,
-it will be deleted without questions asked.

-The rotate function actually works for JPEG images only. It does
-a lossless transformation of the image.
-.SH COMMON PROBLEMS
-.B fbi
-needs rw access to the framebuffer devices (/dev/fbN), i.e you (our
-your admin) have to make sure fbi can open the devices in rw mode.
-The IMHO most elegant way is to use pam_console (see
-/etc/security/console.perms) to chown the devices to the user logged
-in on the console. Another way is to create some group, chown the
-special files to that group and put the users which are allowed to use
-the framebuffer device into the group. You can also make the special
-files world writable, but be aware of the security implications this
-has. On a private box it might be fine to handle it this way
-though.
