Not having graphics is not really supported upstream at the moment.
I think setiathome supports it right now, but astropulse does not.
There is line in the astropulse sources that should be removed
(ap_init_graphics(...) IIRC), but then it crashes at runtime during
startup. I had some mail exchanges with the developers about
supporting it but the mails probably got lost in their usual work load.

See http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/pipermail/boinc_opt/2009-January/001089.html
and http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/pipermail/boinc_opt/2009-February/001094.html

I have a patch which also updates astropulse to version 5.03 and
somewhat cleans up the current port:
ftp://rene-ladan.nl/pub/freebsd/boinc-setiathome-enhanced.diff
SIZE = 6728
SHA256 = f55d8e43714cf68acd8b67f6fa960ac0ed2c9a08ecb0b03b61063deeab33ae12

This probably results in non-working binary(ies).  Feel free to
improve/fix it.  The distfiles areslimmed down versions of certain
SVN revisions (probably close to the file date).

Regards,
Rene
