gianluca (I don't remember his real name) told me on IRC that it
crashes whenever the console scrolls.  I was able to reproduce this.
It is not clear what still needs to be done to get the graphics
console to work.  If it is not a lot of work I can do that, I have
quite some experience with VGA programming.

Speaking about IRC, I've registered the #pupa channel on irc.gnu.org.
It is not a really active channel but if someone is interested, feel
free to join. :)

Oh, I should've been more specific about what I meant.  What I
actually wanted to know if there is something missing that made it
quite impossible to port to another architecture or if there was
something that should be fixed now.

Thanks,
