The idea is not mine but Collin D Bennett's. When we spoke about
debugging memory leaks and valgrind he suggested using SDL for
creating a video frontend based on SDL
I like SDL because it basically similar to common gfx card
architecture with framebuffer which pushed me to split framebuffer out
of vbe.mod. This mode should allow a relativily easy creation of
drivers for new video cards
