The VESA driver is apparently Linux specific. I would assume accessing
the real mode BIOS functions is somewhat operating system dependent?

As for the SVGA driver, that uses SVGALIB, which is available for Linux
and FreeBSD only. Since it's not a kernel thing, I suppose it's at least
possible to port it to Windows or DOS. You'd just have to do it.
