Er, did you check my email address? I am the maintainer of the x86emu 
project on our site ;-)

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.
