Well, what about the Mali GPU work being done right now?
http://www.malideveloper.com/developer-resources/drivers/open-source-mali-gpus-linux-kernel-device-drivers.php
Seems like the source code is available, and at least one Linux desktop
at the moment is up on OpenGL ES, which might be a little more realistic
than a Ivy Bridge setup on a card. (Which people have written to me
that that is not really practical. Although they haven't spelled out
the specifics. :-)
OpenGL ES is supported by KDE 4.10 right now, or at least I think Kwin
builds and runs fine on it completely accelerated last time I looked.
Maybe a little Mali coprocessor to start would be a better idea to
getting a card out quickly to get a revenue stream for funding a open
architecture.

So how much interest is there in my idea of a graphics card
with a framebuffer and a socket to optionally add the future gpu?
Can we build one with existing off the shelf parts (that have datasheets)?

I am interested, but my target is to pack it into a mini-pcie embedded
design, however I can live with the fact that it can be prototyped as a
standard PCIe card.
They make adapters to plug mini-pcie cards into PCIe slots.
1) Is a mini-pcie card large enough?
2) If we go mini-pcie, how do we handle the connections to the displays?
One idea I had awhile back was rather than have the OGP GPU chip
plug into a socket, put it on a mini-pcie card and then plug that
into the PCIe framebuffer card.
