A good font for unicode is terminal. Ive tried no x on an old box few years ago. Directfb was interesting, but not really useful by then. Their homepage contains many interesting projects, like a graphical and eye-candy login manager. I rather used the basic fbdev. Sdl can output to it, thats really handy. Gpmouse, if i remember well, can provide mouse support in vconsoles. Using some drivers, links can be a good basic browser - no net banking though. Mplayer for video. Moc, mpd or another curses mp3 player for audio. By the time i had to play around to have lines character working in a unicode console with ncurses. There are console tools to convert office docs to pdf, via postscript i guess, but recent format might not be supported. I had almost everything needed for basic use, and that was running pretty fast on this old comp. Besides, showing a video played through aalib always impress people (supported by sdl too i think). Im sorry there are lot of uncertitudes and no links, but im using a cell phone from thailand - really cheap compared to belgium costs. Good luck, good fun, charly 2009/4/10, Maurício <briqueabraque@xxxxxxxxx>: >>> The guy who writes this blog has had a few posts on living without X >>> recently, not sure which distro that was with. >>> >> >> Helps if I include the link doesnt it, here it >> is<http://kmandla.wordpress.com/> >> > > Nice recomended applications. > > I think the main problem, however, is that I > still depend on X to get a nice terminal.
