why? if xen provides a simple VGA, surely this can be with grafix?

the problem for most of us thick-o's is that we stupidly went and bought
shiny new laptops with Radeon 9000 and other sick/mad/bad chipsets, rather
than finding a gas-plasma tadpole with contents-addressable 3 bit colour.

(ie, xen either emulates the kind of braindead vga plan9 likes, or almost
 no other OS will install on it.)
