I was also a happy KGI user in 90's. A real framebuffer provided a much nicer console (larger resolution & more text, higher frequency & less flicker etc) and the code was nicely structured into drivers for different parts in gfx cards and if I remember right, it was also documented. I was *really* disappointed when it failed to get into kernel despite several efforts.
