I'm all for it! Making a libGGI display target for the fbcon architectures should be a matter of 2-3 hours coding, and 5-10 hours debugging. All you have to provide to be a libGGI target is:
* ggiPutPixel * ggiCheckMode * ggiSetMode * ggiPollEvent/ggiReadEvent [mouse/keyboard access]
We already have targets for X-SHM, Xlib, KGI, [SVGAlib - buggy], [XFree86-DGA - buggy], memory, Glide, and [of all things!] AAlib.
You really should see ggiDoom in AAlib - it's a blast! [Yes, that's right - play Doom in an Xterm!]
See http://synergy.foo.net/~ggi for details & code.
