I was actually talking about Links, not lynx, built with X11. This looks exactly like the framebuffer version of Links but under X with resizable windows and all. Running on the framebuffer is fun but it can become annoying since you need 1 terminal per app unless you have a windowing system like gtk+ for DirectFB or FWE (http://home.comcast.net/~fbui/fwe.html). When I had my very basic X install (a really long time ago) I used X11 Links, and it was OK.
Keep in mind in order to use the mouse on the framebuffer you need gpm."Today you are freer than ever to do what you want, provided you can pay for it!" --Bad Religion
