DRM gives us the ideal platform for it because the command queue stuff is already in the kernel waiting to be used - you just need to feed it the right commands (which can be copied from the Xorg driver). It certainly be nice to have (even though we hopefully don't spend a lot of time showing the console), but I'm suffering a lot for time at the moment. It'd be a great project for someone who wants to learn a bit about Glamo (or graphics acceleration in general) - no low-level scariness or NDA required, I promise...
