Several things: First, this program is using svgalib, which means it allows graphics display without X, or to say it in a different way: This is an image viewer for the console. But svgalib isn't fully supported on FreeBSD. This program is _not_ an X program. It won't work the way you assume. Second: If you use XFCE (all capitals), one might get the impression that you're refering to the CDE-lookalike XFCE 3. The new Xfce desktop (version 4) uses a capital X, and then just fce in lowercase. :-) If you're searching for a simple image viewer, try xzgv. You can use it as a standalone program or call it from a desktop association (i. e., for supported image file formats). You could also try xv (very popular) and "display" (part of the ImageMagic port). But with Xfce, you already probably have half of Gnome installed, so you could also check out eog. ;-) Personally, I like xzgv, and I have it associated with image types to "start" them from within the Midnight Commander (just press ENTER on an image, and it will be displayed, scaled to the window size properly). Example: interactively browse a directory in fullscreen: % xzgv -tzf ~/cam/2014-10-01/ Only show one image: % xzgv -z /tmp/someimage.jpg Browse specified images: % xzgv -tz /scratch/test/bla*jpg my_*_nose.png bla.gif This viewer has nice keyboard and mouse support, its older versions (last usable version: 0.8_9) can also dynamically adjust brightness, contrast and other image properties. It can rotate and zoom. It also supports thumbnails. See if you like it. Just a suggestion. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
