On top of my head there is (in no particular order):
Generalized mouse support (done).
Cut&paste on text screens (done).
Accent keys (dead keys) (done).
Bitmap display (partly done, 800x600 display on VESA cards).
Simple graphics primitive library.
To come:
VESA modes (text & graphics).
Multi-head consoles.
Emulator & ioctl as modules (ie very small X only console, or vt100 emu).
Simple GUI library.
USB keyboard support.
