Yes, but it is a BIOS emulator only. What I am looking for is the code that Aki did that allowed the kernel mode VESA fbdev driver call out into a userland daemon to do the actual calls to the BIOS. Whether the calls are made using the x86emu emulator (for non-x86 platforms) or via the real BIOS is irrelevant. What is important is the userland daemon hookup; that is what I am looking for.
