Currently there is a terminal implementation that uses video subsystem to render screen. So basicly in every arch there must be a video driver if you want graphical console. You can see my current idea how to use video driver in grub wiki: http://grub.enbug.org/VideoSubsystem Actual implementation is currently in a bit flux, so I don't want people to start coding until all really needed features work correctly with one driver so others can use it as a reference when developing other video drivers. If you want to look at you can see current implementation in URL that I posted day or two ago to list.
