Gordan Irlams's Virtual Console Patches support colored text, but no 
bitmapped graphics.

If you plan to spend any serious time in Minix, you simply MUST have
the Virtual Console Patches anyway.  You can have as many consoles as
you want, which is as close to job control as Minix will ever have.
(ie, you can log in to Minix more than once on separate terminals.  It's
invaluable when compiling, browsing, editing and using the modem at the
same time.)  It hardly takes up any extra memory, too.
