I don't know what's the problem with using framebuffer??? I think that the framebuffer is a great idea. Why bother with X all the time, when sometimes you don;t even need to start it, and you can do all you need in the console, even _graphically_ browse the net (yes, links it is).
An one more thing for the framebuffer: try watching divx/xvid/etc movies in fullscreen on a pII 266, ati mach 64 4mb and 96 mb ram in X and see how far you go. And thanks to the vesa framebuffer (but mplayer mostly :-)), an old piece of junk is a great mobile multimedia station...
