It should work on the console without any GUI running.

Try running it with the -D flag:

  rtb -D

then looking at the list of modes it prints, then you can pick the
mode/resolution with

  rtb -m X

where X is the mode number listed from the -D command. Mode 0 is usually
the highest resolution one which is the default if you don't use the
-m flag.

RTB (and wiringPi) are sort of on holiday right now - I've had some health
issues in the past year or 2 and am now in the middle of moving house,
so once the dust has settled I'll be doing more with them.
