It will be very useful to have a test box around.

I have been talking with Thomas Valentino Crimi
<tcrimi+@andrew.cmu.edu> about adding DEC TGA card support in
syscons/videoio.  And in the process, we are discussing splitting
syscons.c into several modules so that syscons is modularized and VGA
specific code is isolated. (Soeren and I discussed this a long time
ago and many people raised this issue several times before, as we all
know :-)
