zhcon for Debian
----------------
In order for zhcon for a normal (non-root) user, please add yourself
to the "video" group, like this:
$ sudo adduser $(whoami) video
Then, log out, and log back in, and zhcon should start for you!

zhcon needs FrameBuffer support enabled in Linux kernel. I have
removed all debconf stuff because framebuffer is default for several
years in Debian kernel and other major Linux distributions. If you
have a custom kernel, make sure you have the option enabled.

zhcon need the framebuffer support, so you must rebuild the kernel
with the framebuffer options by yourself. ;-)
You should set kernel "Code maturity level options" to " Prompt for
development and/or incomplete code/drivers", select "Support for
frame buffer devices (EXPERIMENTAL)" option under "Console drivers",
and choose one driver for your display card. Of cause, rebuild and
start the new kernel. ;-)
Maybe you should install kernel-package, it's a tool used for build
debian kernel packages.

zhcon can work without framebuffer, but I didn't fully test. ZNPY
is the default input method now. If it doesn't work for you, please
reinstall zhcon, and permit it overwrite /etc/zhcon.conf.
