aalib is definitely _not_ X centric. First time I saw it was on the
text console of an Linux box with no X installed on it (486 Notebook
with 8M RAM and piddling small HD).

And it is most likely not Linux centric either. Just needs an terminal
it understands. May be VT100/ANSI centric (or even dependant).
