Links - Graphics not enabled when compiling

[Ádám Juhász]

I might have messed up the terms/names.

By the “virtual terminal” I was referring the interface that you can access
with ⌃⌥F1-6. That is not using X11, and I don’t have any clue how I pulled
it off or how I figured that it could be possible with Links, but it didn’t
worked out in the end. (I wanted to use that in case if I broke my X11 to
still be able to browse the web relatively comfortably.) I could open a
image viewer in those terminal, and before that once run my SDL program as
root (which was a mistake since it still had a segmentation fault in it, and
crashed my system). I also almost run Battle for Wesnoth in the ⌃⌥F1
terminal but it failed loading the mouse, which I didn’t bothered.

But it’s all off-topic tough.

I have no idea what you are trying to say here; OS X has functionally the
same pty support as Linux. And you are not bypassing X11 if you are seeing
graphics at all, you are *using* it; the X11 video driver needs to at least
be told what area of the screen to not update itself (for things like OpenGL
or v4l2 on Linux), or must be doing the update itself under control of the
X11 server.
