Brainstorming is good. As for mediocre, what's the fastest path to getting
some sort of very basic framebuffer and a dumb resistor VGA output DAC,
and a simple single shader in VHDL that I can put on an XESS Xula2, or
Actel FPGA, or DE0-Nano board?

Or maybe drive a 32x16 LED matrix? There's lots of interesting applications
with high potential margins that don't look like a PCI-E video card.
