oh - nothing so complicated. i am just looking for a way to avoid going
to x to see pdf and word documents - actually, text in these documents,
preserving the formatting. no problem if they are converted into, say,
html.
i had turned off frame buffer some time back to boost speed. but if
necessary, i can turn it on. in any case, it will be a lesser evil to
have frame buffer on than to have to run x.
