Like the title says, I'm just wondering if it's possible to get accelerated opengl on Linux (presumably with the framebuffer) with an Nvidia graphics card without the X window system.

X is one of the major things keeping me away from Linux. It used to be tolerable, but since the last 3 releases, to phrase it as politely as I can, I'm not going near that pile of **** again.
