How to get pixel colour from framebuffer on linux (Raspberry Pi)

问题

I am trying to make a small program to control the colour of an RGB LED according to the colour of certain pixels on the screen. Since this is on Raspberry Pi running Raspbmc, I cant use XLib because everything is drawn from the frame buffer(not sure if this is true, but from what I read on the FAQ this appears to be the case). I tried using XLib but couldn't get the display to be detected (makes sense why it doesn't work now).

This is an example I found online. The problem is, it compiles fine, but when run, the second error message appears: "Error reading fixed information". I tried displaying the content of fbfd but that results in a Segmentation Error. So it appears nothing is written to fbfd?

I cant make sense of it because everything I find about the frame buffer is basicly this same code, so I don't know why it doesn't work.

Hope someone can help!

        }
    munmap(fbp, screensize);
    close(fbfd);

    return 0;
