Oops, sorry.

I meant to say:

I'd like to turn linux-fb into linux-console port [yes, making it
possible to draw in text mode; see
http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/cursed/cursed.html]. text mode
functions are vital for me.

I did cvs update today, with cvsroot 

pavel bug:~/gnome/gtk+$ cat CVS/Root
:pserver:pavel cvs gimp org:/cvs/gnome
pavel bug:~/gnome/gtk+$

READme says

This is GTK+ version 1.3.2. GTK+, which stands for the Gimp ToolKit,

This should be the current version, right? I can't find files you
mentioned:

pavel bug:~/gnome/gtk+$ find . -name gdkdrawable-fb.c
pavel bug:~/gnome/gtk+$

but I have gdkdrawable-fb2. Unfortunately, it just puts up warning
about "not yet implemented" in function gdk_fb_draw_text.
