Yes, I think you are right as it would be more of a Rube Goldberg
machine than a graphics card.
:-)
Incidentally, demand for graphics in general is quietly making large
steps on Linux:

So demand is continuing to go up, not down for decent graphics on a
LINUX box in the 3D fully accelerated category that doesn't suck.

you will have very hard time, to find one which has PCIe (and that

Putting a SoC on a PCIe card has no real benefit. You are probably
trapped in a recursion - and if you get again to the surface, you has
to acknowledge that you can do your work on the SoC itself. No need to
put it into another system.

Well, what about the Mali GPU work being done right now?

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

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.
