Hi all,

I have a bunch of *very* old 386 and 486 which I want to use only to display some images an alike. Problem is, those old graphic cards are not VESA 2.0 capable, so they do not support framebuffer.

My question now is: Are there any other possibilities to display graphics (simple images) under text console?

Well, there is always the ASCII art lib (aalib) and the color variant (cacalib). The xine media player is able to use both to render video. I have always thought of this as more of a novelty, personally.
