Yep. I developed much of PicoGUI on a 486 laptop only slightly more powerful than
these systems, and we're targeting the uCsimm that is slower than these systems. The
lack of Vesa 2.0 brings back memories... The 486 had Vesa 1.2, so no framebuffer
device. That's why I wrote the svgalib driver in the first place. The only variable
here might be whether the svgalib driver works correctly for you. (I haven't tested it
in a while) The processor speed should be fine, but of course that depends on
resolution. The 16mhz uCsimm also has to push around far fewer pixels than a desktop.
Absolute worst case, you could use the ncurses driver ;-)

Only you can prevent creeping featurism!
