I'm having a framework for multiple drivers (probe and set methods, basically); the stock distro will have VGA and VESA drivers only. Dropping new drivers in is trivial if someone wants to.
It sounds like going overboard a bit; 80x25 standard VGA, 80x43/50 line VGA (settable through simple BIOS calls) and VESA (80x60, 132x25/43/50/60) is all that anyone wants. If Bochs and Qemu emulata a CL54xx, they'll provide a VESA BIOS for it as well, I suppose?
