I would be incredibly interested in a version of Acme that would not require X windows. Hell, I'd even pay for it.

(I currently run emacs on arch linux with no x)

If you install Plan 9 Ports, check out /usr/local/plan9/src/cmd/devdraw. Russ can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's the only place the graphical programs interface with X. You'll need to find the places where devdraw is using X, and replace them with framebuffer code.
