Neomagic video on my Presario 1230 (similar chips are on Gateway, Hitachi,
DELL, IBM) crashes the same way with Xfbdev when I try to run xli or
switch VTs. It crashes with Xvesa but is supposed to work with SVGA
server. Xfbdev works if you don't switch VTs and do avoid certain
programs.
To avoid X (Opera / javascript) and improve usability of my 16MB-RAM
laptop, I will attempt to compile edbrowse, a text editor cum html
renderer (browser) in two versions, both with javascript support. About
300K download (plus the Mozilla spidermonkey javascript code which I could
not get to work with elinks). Designed for the blind, in C. Precompiled
dynamic binary available, static one may be forthcoming for linux and
Windows. (Is DOS possible?.) There is a
non-javascript version in perl. No graphics support, or text formatting.
Supports streaming audio and plugins such as pdftohtml.
Single-key commands (b for browse an html file). SSL (uses cert.pem) and
cookies. The sample config file provides a way to remove junk from
google.

How might I make a menu of commonly used programs without jwm/X?
