Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) and/or framebuffer? IIRC, it'll be need a kernel config, so you might need to look at the source or look at some of the add on repositories. I *think* I actually did that in a long-ago LFS implementation. Was neat. But the feature needs to be turned on in the kernel, IIRC? And then a config and boot setup. A quick google for "framebuffer kernel source vga" returns some entries that make me think it's still available.shows lots of entries.
