So do I.

We have

    serial console
    printer

which are names from an end user's point of view, not hardware names.
So a logical name might beany of these

    graphical display
    display

(optionally with an index if there are 2 or more of them)
as a replacement for VGA. Of course it's even better when the user
can give any of these screens an individual name.
