Howdy Tom,

as i wrote fom TTY4 so no X, no DE. "Real" text mode ;).

all works, but its bad for accessibility since it creates a lot of  
"pseudo graphics"  using background color and ascii pictures.
so it will not be very useful to you.
the idea is still good since it has all the power of gecko on board.  
maybe you want to give a talk to the developer. maybe they can make it  
more usefull for blind people.

cheers chrys
