A note below...

Nit: this is not exactly true, e.g. ks0108/cfag12864b (which were the
first in the subsystem) were not character-based but a very simple
black-or-white 128x64 grid, so we should probably reword slightly
this.

In any case, if Helge thinks these may belong in the "Graphics
support" menu, then I am fine with it:

Thanks!
