zgv might be just what you are looking for (no X required). I say
"might", because it doesn't work with all SVGA video cards, however
with an older machine, the chances should be pretty good (although I

Package: zgv

there's a driver for plain-old VGA cards somewhere on the net ...

Hi,
I'm asking for suggestions on the following situation:
I have an very old laptop, a Compaq Aero 33/c, with 12 MB of
RAM and a ~230 MB hard drive. I like this machine because of its small form
factor. All I want to do with this machine is to have it continuously display
