For w3m-img to work on the console, check that:
- the "tty" command reports a tty (e.g. /dev/tty1) that is listed in
/etc/securetty.
- you have write access to /dev/fb0 -- probably meaning you need to
be in the "video" group.
Since root can bypass some of these problems, try this to open w3m on
a temporary extra console, running as root:
sudo openvt -sw -- w3m -config /dev/null http://google.com/
