Hi all,
I've been developing an in-kernel 2D GUI for kernel 2.6.
It's based on the framebuffer with the event subsystem
providing mouse and keyboard. I'd like to welcome you all
to take a look at the current work at
home.comcast.net/~plinius/fbui.html.
Thanks,
Zack Smith

What about video cards where the framebuffer does not
provide for acceleration, but the X drivers do ?
Do you plan to use the X server for better performance
on such systems ?

According to the website it's bloat so I imagine no.
Why didn't someone think of this before, put it in the kernel
solve software bloat! </sarcasm>
