Yes, you're correct. I'm investigating about the way to use such cheap and low power consumption boards (alix pcengines and soekris) to build embedded devices with the ability to drive display not charging the cpu with the heavy X11 infrastructure.
About X11: I see the Geode support was introduced in X11 starting from Debian 4.0 Lenny and Sid. Etch hasn't such a driver yet. Have you some roadmap timing to port Voyage from Etch to Lenny yet? NOTE: I tested X11 without any specific video driver. Geode is driven only as a plain VGA with really poor performances and supporting few resolutions/color depth.

As far as I read from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Hardware_Drivers and kernel documentation, framebuffer is for provide graphical support on kernel console. Correct me if i am wrong. Any other strong reason than that?
