Thanks,
 svn co is a debian command for download that directory?
 http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/branches/vn896_branch

I'm on opensuse, is the same using wget -r ?

The rpm already installed, isn't from distro; I've intalled it for the first

And obviously I'm not using it, because doesn't work.
Using instead the (original from distro) fbdev :)
