I'm not quite sure where it is, but if you have the time to search, there is
a thread on the arch bbs about doing exactly what you want. A lot of
applications and hints/tips are in there.

Hi,
Do you think it's possible to live without X, replacing framebuffer for it, using packages available for arch? I imagine something like DirectFB or similar, using it when text is not enough. I think I could do with a browser and a pdf viewer, but I wasn't able to find a direction to follow to get that. Has any of you tried it already?
Thanks, Maurício
You can use fbgs from fbida package to see pdf's, and a browser like w3m-graphics or links-g.
And yes, it is possible.
