As of now, I know it's non-existent. But I want to know the
difficulties involved in attempting it (KMS+VESA)? At the moment, the
only chipsets that work with KMS are the intel ones. So, I'm thinking,
why not find out why no-one seems to be interested in doing a VESA
driver?

Perhaps I'm naive, but if we have such a driver around, it "should"
make it possible for anyone to use KMS on their Linux systems,
correct? A very limited sub-set of features, true, but it will be
better than nothing.

If I understand things right, apart from the basic graphics
initializations, I'll need to design a memory manager in libdrm for
it. Can I just copy/use the intel one? What might be the biggest
hurdle I'll be facing?
