My own frame buffer:-)

Grüezi! Id like to build a small linux computer. I have a small industrial 486 board with some I/O's. Id like to connect a graphic LCD (mabe 128x64 pixel, monochrome) display to this IO port. My question: I would like to use a GUI (like picogui). Picogui is supporting the framebuffer. Now i would like to writing a kernel module that i can insert in runtime. After i can start picogui on this framebuffer. I don't need to have all the kernel messages/console on the display, just that, what picogui is writing to the framebuffer. The kernel module has to get the data from picogui, to prepare for LCD and send it over the I/O port. What do you think, is it easy, or is it a lot of work? Is it possible? Do i need to implement some ioctrl() routines? (Or better: Does a framebuffer application use ioctrl() commands?)
