Greetings,

vm-display-fbdev uses a framebuffer for display and libevdev for 
keyboard and mouse input.

So, no X11 and you have to set up the proper devices.

E.g.   squeak -vm-display-fbdev -fbdev /dev/fb0
assuming that /dev/input/event? devices are properly set for keyboard 
and mouse.

If you look at

   
https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/tree/Cog/platforms/unix/vm-display-fbdev

You will see notes on my usage in Armbian Linx on LePotato 
(AML-S905X-CC) and Alpine Linux on  Raspberry Pi 4.

It would be good to get this plugin up and tested on other Linux 
variants and platforms.

Let me know...

Cheers,
