An HDMI display + a RaspberryPi can make a decent terminal. No h/w acceleration yet either with x11/Linux or 9pi but its speed is good enough for me. an openVG version of p9p /dev/draw would speed things up.... Porting their open source openVG user land code to 9pi is a much bigger task (too many Linux dependencies).
