? From what I have read, It appears to be quite possible:

That could also be done, sure. I'd really like to get the LibGGI
drivers working first, though, if possible. This would be a much more
portable and comprehensive solution than a KGI driver wrapper. I would
like to see just how much of the guts of XFree86 we can implement using
LibGGI and friends.
