I'd just like to point out you can also do:-
[ Microwindows ] ---> [ Video hardware ]
and cut out any kernel driver as well.
It's very simple to take a 'scr_???.c' and modify it for your
own hardware (I even had a mickey-mouse 'ascii' one writting
directly to memory to fault find some stuff I was doing).
Obviously you'll lose the pretty kernel messages, but you
might not want these....
