Well, it would need a standard way of querying the video
capability of the chip and using it. Not easy...
I've written a draft proposal for that, amd implemented
it in pm3fb (my fb driver for the permedia3), but it still
needs discussion. If there's interest in it, the likely
target would be kernel 2.5.x in Ruby (the new framebuffer
layer, see <http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxconsole/>

Appended is the preliminary include file.

Any comment/criticism/improvement/advice very much welcome.
