Not really. We need a frame buffer driver to port X Windows.

Well I guess entire OpenGL stuff can be implemented as a software driver. If
we want to port X windows than graphics device must be seen as a frame
buffer from processor point of view. If we want to use our CRT only with
or1k then we don't need VGA compatibility.
