Thank you, Michele, for developing this software :-)

The locking didn't work in the 0.3-beta. But the 0.5-rc1-sources
compile well on Debian jessie, so I have the locking now. Thank you!

Unfortunately with 0.5-rc1 I have heavy flickering in the fb-console
whenever I press a cursor-key (up/down). I tested it on two different
machines. If we could solve this problem would be nice, it is a bit
bothering. If I can help you with some debugging etc, please let me
know.

Another problem: the textreading-mode doesn't work anymore when
calling fimgs. The pages are centered and the space-key doesn't work
as intended. Calling fimgs with option -P also doesn't work.

I tried to compile fim with --pdf-enable, unfortunately libpoppler in
jessie is too old.

Is fimgs still recommended for pdf? Or do you want to change to
pdf-support in fim?

Greetings,
Martin
