Arghh.. thud thud thud

VESA last time I looked was a 16 bit standard

Far more useful. Let Linus rave about X, let the GGI people swear blind they
have the one true answer, and the people like me who believe bits of GGI (the
in/out of graphics mode stuff) ought to be kernel space sit and watch. When
there is real working source code for general use then we can come back to it.

There's no point taking pot shots at different ideas until after we have
experimental evaluations...
