So that's the rough plan. Comments appreciated if I'm overlooking anything.
The question would be how we ensure that these additional drivers are in the install image, or in the installed system, if necessary. Or do we not care if they get vesa? How would users be informed/able to install drivers if necessary? (I don't know that PK search is good here.)
To a first approximation, I deeply do not care. If you're choosing to use an s3virge in 2011 you've already decided to make your life hard.
While I don't care about accelerated X support, this hardware darned well better continue working in an "it works" 2D display mode. VESA or whatever is fine.
Why?
Data centers have /plenty/ of ancient video solutions out there, and basic video support is needed.
