Can a program be written to map X windows on to
a character terminal. I beleive that the X server
outputs bitmaps so the information would have to
be intercepted at an earlier stage.

Another way of putting it:
Can any part of the X software be used in a program
that implements a simplified version of X windows on
a character terminal.

Any references ?
