SEUL is not aimed at any PC.  It's aimed at a user.  That user can be
using an old VGA monitor or the top of the line monitor out there
today.  Therefore the safest bet, if the probing stage can't determine
it, is to use a vanilla VGA setup to begin with.

He has a valid point here, I think.  Reguardless of Debians next
version, we should be getting Linux core together.  Linux core is
independant of the dist anyway.  We should examine hamm when it comes
out for possible ideas to add to Linux core, but the ability to begin
putting it together exists now and should begin.

Omega has said that Debian is going to be the building block/ reference
material for SEUL.
