There is a driver that is used for screen savers and splash screens. I 
recommend to read source code in

   src/sys/dev/fb/
   src/sys/dev/syscons/
   src/sys/dev/syscons/*/
   src/usr.sbin/vidcontrol/

to find out how to use it. Probably there is something to do to make the 
interface more flexible and comfortable.
