You can, yes, by displaying the image in the framebuffer.

Currently, the only program I'm aware of that can display pdfs in the framebuffer is fbgs, part of fbida.

'am using fedora 8 i have installed fbida

while displaying imaging on CLI we got following problem :

[root@Complab7-8 ~]# fbi -P a.jpg
using "DejaVu LGC Sans Mono-16", pixelsize=16.67 file=/usr/share/fonts/dejavu-lgc/DejaVuLGCSansMono.ttf
ioctl VT_GETSTATE: Invalid argument (not a linux console?)


how to overcome this error
i u have any more information regarding displaying image on cli please help
plz also tell any other library which can be used instead on fbida\

Well, off the top of my head you're either running X, don't have the framebuffer setup correctly or have set an unsupported resolution, or are using GNU screen.
