I *think* that the Frame Buffer drivers have been used on more
architectures than that. But now they've been ported to x86 as well.
They work on a lot of modern cards. You lose the card-specific
extensions but you do gain a much simplified X set-up and one that you
don't need to change with your card (just install the appropriate
Frame-buffer driver). Also, it uses SVGA text modes for the
console
