+kmscon (KMS/DRM based System Console)
+
+kmscon is a system console for linux. It does not depend on any
+graphics-server on your system (like X.org), but instead provides a raw
+console layer that can be used independently. It can replace the linux
+kernel console entirely but was designed to work well side-by-side,
+too. Even though initially targeted at providing internationalization
+to the system-console, it has grown into a fully modularized console
+layer including features like multi-head support, internationalized
+font rendering, XKB-compatible keyboard handling, hardware-accelerated
+graphics access and more.
