I understand the Linux framebuffer device was
initially based on our VESA driver, but it has evolved
into a specialized device for specific graphic cards.
It's also a moving target, not something anyone in
FreeBSD has been willing to follow. 

There are more important things to do in FreeBSD's
graphics end; fully newbussifying the VESA driver 
would be nice, perhaps supporting VBE/AF (like in this
dead project
(http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/freebe/index.html), or
of course helping the KGI porting effort* (Hi Nicholas
;) ).

cheers,

     Pedro.

* I understand a VM guru is needed there BTW
