Subject: Running X programs from bash w/ framebuffer
Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2005 20:41:24 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <41E439F4.6030404@comcast.net> (raw)
This may seem really newbieish, but I have been running Gentoo for quite
some time now.
Is it possible to forego X altogether, and run things like firefox,
thunderbird, etc through the framebuffer from a bashprompt, rather than
starting X and going from there. The reason I ask, is I hate the bloat
of Gnome and KDE, and don't have the time to learn to configure fvwm or
fluxbox, etc. In addition, the X server has a lot to it that I don't
really need. This is just a personal desktop, and aside from setting up
samba to share mp3's with my fiance's computer (across the room), I
don't do provide any servers. I also generally don't use any graphical
utilities for setting up or maintaing the system. The only progs I
really use in X are, Firefox, Thunderbird, XMMS, Openoffice, and
occasionally KDevelop... mostly for editing my fvwm config.
Thanks in advance for any help.
