Go ahead! Although i planned to do it myself too :)
But unfortunately i don't have much free time these days.

How is a fbcon driver different than a "direct" driver?
And the PCI stuff is relatively easy, you just tell the
kernel what you are looking for and it does everything
for you. If you need an example for this, have a look
at mga_vid ( http://attila.kinali.ch/mga/ ), there
mga_vid_find_card() searches for the cards and 
cards_init() initializes the data structures.
(please be aware that the code is very ugly)

I fear Mesa and DRI too ^^;
