This is actually documented.  In the binder entitled "Supplements" there are
man pages for the Interactive extensions to SVR3.  Read the man page for
display(7); in particular, the KDSETMODE ioctl, which allows you to put the
current console into graphics mode, and the KDMAPDISP ioctl which allows you
to map the EGA's screen memory into your address space.
