I agree with Amancio that lopping off the bottom half of X would be a really cool general solution, but let's face it - it's also a solution that will likely never happen and is therefore not something I'd like to bet the farm on. Add complexity to the solution and you also add to the calendar ship date! :-) I'd like something that simply gave me basic line graphics in 320x200 resolution or so. Then I could go implement all those cool GUI objects I've been talking about with a dynamic rendering model that allows fall-back to ncurses character graphics rendering in a pinch. Jordan
