Hmm... I believe that no acceleration (just VGA) for windowed mode is
perhaps a little bit too restrictive, and a strong 3d support is a
little bit non-trivial to implement for windowed mode, so maybe 2d
acceleration-only is a good balance for windowed mode. Fullscreen mode,
if that would be possible to implement, should of course provide
direct access to native features, including 3d as well..
I think VESA VBE 3.0 has the possibility of changing the rates,
however I haven't checked it. I think by the time V3 was out, the
importance of VESA has been sufficiently decreased (though VESA is
nice and worth to support but is not enough nowadays).
