Framebuffer fbtest issues

Hi,

I took the fbtest from the CVS and compiled it. It seems it needs some 
updating ;)

in the fbtest/pnmtohex/Makefile - it won't compile, as the NetPBM library has 
been changed, so you'll need to install it and change the Makefile to 
something like:

LIBS += -lnetpbm

One weird issue - the netpbm package that comes with redhat doesn't compile 
the fbtest - any suggestions why? (same in mandrake) - only installing the 
netpbm from sourceforge seems to help (and modifying the Makefile)..

I'm also enclosing sort of README to save others the hair tearing I had here 
;)

Could someone please commit those changes to CVS?

Thanks,
Hetz

Framebuffer test "suite"
------------------------

This is a package which contains 10 tests to make sure your framebuffer works.

In order to compile it, you'll need NetPBM to be installed first 
(http://netpbm.sf.net) and make sure your libnetpbm.so files are correctly known
to the either your LD_LIBRARY_PATH or to your /etc/ld.so.conf (in Linux)

After compiling (a simple "make" should do the job), you can run the test by
runnning: ./fbtest

On some machines, running the fbtest might take a bit of pause and then the demos
will run, so you might want to launch the fbtest with: ./fbtest -d -v

Good Luck,
