Why not just use old X? You'd get a lot of stuff for free. The most
I'd expect it'd need would be a ddx layer that talks to wscons, and
that only on hardware not already supported by the X you use. I dunno
about Xorg, but MIT X makes it fairly easy to support dumb-memory
framebuffers. I've done multiple ddx layers for R6.4pl3.
Admittedly, this would lose the "doesn't use anything not in a basic
NetBSD installation" property.
