I have yet to see a 3D acceleration driver for the framebuffer. All of
them are for X only. Although OpenGL does not *technically* depend on X,
*practically* there is no way to do without.

What could more easily accomplished would be to start Squeak as the *only*
X application. Possibly drawing right into the root window. X in itself
isn't too bad, it's the X-based desktops (KDE/Gnome etc) that hog the CPU.
For example, you can write right into the framebuffer too, using the
XF86DGA extension.
