For graphics specifically, you could look at the DRM modesetting-101 branch (git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm#modesetting-101), it has mode setting & output configuration support for gfx chips comparable to X. Beyond that (advanced 3D, GPGPU or Render type acceleration) you'd need to use a DRM client package like Mesa or Gallium3D.
