I just checked the graphics for Ascii. I'm not sure about the Pi
Display but it works fine with an HDMI monitor, at least with XFCE4.
Though probably a window manager alone would be more appropriate than a
full desktop environment. Sound works via HDMI as well. Bloated
graphical apps will max out the CPU though. Timezone needs to be set
manually.
