I've made a hackin' X server which supports only 16bpp frame buffer.
(It's just experimental server. You can not use that normally.)
But I found a problem of wscons - the keyboard mux is brolken. It's not
a BUG. You have to improve the wscons.
Any other mode is not supported yet. I think that 2bpp mode support is
especially difficult because sample implementation does not support the
mode.

In addition to lack of hardware information, I think that framework
for power management is needed.

The power management framework and the wscons problem
are machine independent issues.
