To be more clear, I use a "graphics driver" but only in textmode. Perhaps a better statement would be "I do not use a graphics mode"

"VGA graphics driver"

"This driver handles VGA graphics..."

I only use VGA textmode

I do not context switch into a graphics mode via 13h. No need

I don't use a terminal emulator that requires a graphics mode or one that uses a GPU

I'm not interested in displaying images
