Hi Attilio, Thanks for your answers. They really gave some useful info on how the frontend can be used (I never thought to try switching to one of the higher VTs...).

No, not quite. udebs that are present on the initrd are loaded _before_ language selection. So we just need to have these udebs available and create a custom initrd for testing the graphical interface. This is not actually very hard once the necessary libraries, fonts and such are available as udebs. Cheers, FJP P.S. I've not yet tried the X version you sent; hope to do that soon.
