On the pegasos the firmware does not support a framebuffer. But I

Pegasos firmware doesn't provide a framebuffer? That is very ungood.
Writing and maintaining our own ATI driver does not sound like fun. We
would also need a PCI driver (how will you access config space?) and
infrastructure that is otherwise unneeded, such as memory barriers. And
*then* we get to talk about initializing and running the video driver
itself, which as far as I've seen is not a simple task with modern
graphics hardware...
