You should not add yet another program that does video card accesses from userspace. The xorg and fbdev developpers are having a hard enough time already making sure both sides have a consistent view of the video card state, and it looks like they're on the way to unifying as much as they can in the kernel under drm just because of these difficulties. Do not add to them by frobbing the card in unpredictable ways from userspace, please.
