Yes, this was with native graphics.  It looks like grub's gfxterm was

The Qubes kernel is the Xen hypervisor and is only about 800 KB.
I'm attempting to add it as the payload, although I think that a minimal
Linux in ROM that kexec's Xen from an encrypted and measured disk image
will be better suited to my goals.
