Perhaps this is an RAQ (Rarely Asked Question): as a non-mouse-user who has been using command-line graphics viewers for seven years in MS-DOS to preview PostScript files or typeset pages, is there any way to do this in FreeBSD? The book _Installing and Running FreeBSD_ and other references I've seen seem to assume that anyone who needs any graphics-mode preview would use X-Windows, which requires a mouse or similar pointing device. Short of writing my own version of X-Windows which runs with keyboard commands alone <grin>, is there a solution, like maybe some third- party graphics viewers which could be called from a shell script, say? As a current subscriber to FreeBSD 2.1 through Walnut Creek CDROM, I'd much appreciate any advice.
