Well, Gnopernicus aims to be a free solution, but it is limited
to GNOME2. You might want to look at http://portal.beam.ltd.uk/xvil/
which provides a somewhat more generic solution for X Window System
programs, but appears to be not really free.

I'm sure there are more. I'm one of them.

I'm using a 80-char braille display and brltty.
THen I also use the Real Weasel VGA card to be able
to do fresh installs of Linux on new PCs on my own without
having to consult a coworker...

Well, the UNIX job-area is really large. Maybe you could
tell us a little more, what you need, what the requirements are and so on.
