I need a VESA linair Framebuffer device eg /dev/vfb or something like 
that. with both read and write access and ioctl interface for changing 
the screen resolution and other functions.

I need this for a window system i'm working on, also i dont like like 
linux to develop as much.

I'm thinking i'll write a driver for this  and add it to the ports.
