Well, I guess at this point, we should emulate a simple 2D
graphics card for a good start.  Some special drivers will
be nice in the future, to squeeze out some more performance.

So, let's get a sub-project going to emulate a real
video card.  The next question is, what card to emulate.  On
this list I've heard mention of at least:

  Tseng Labs ET4000
  early model S3
  S3 Trio 32

Requirements would be, straight forward design with no DMA.
Something with a documented interface so it can be emulated
easily.

And, who wants to work on this?  :^)

Or possibly, is there something like this already done in
another project that we can use.  We need to have certain
constraints so it can be loaded into the VM monitor space
(developing in user space is fine) - so programming in C
is essential.
