I guess you'll end up having some framebuffer descriptor in the kernel 
as in R5:

struct kfb_info {
        void *fb;
        uint32 width;
        uint32 height;
        uint32 bytes_per_row; // ?
        uint32 ;
        uint32 bits_per_pixel; // ?
        uint32 ;
};

and a syscall to update it from app_server when switching video modes/
workspaces.

François.
