Well, in that sense you are right. (although I must check if Xorg's sunffb 
driver actually supports thos extra-high resolutions, if not, maybe we can add 
support for it.) Mode-switching with Ctr+Alt+"+" is not supported by that 
driver. Anyways not by default, currently.

This way or that way: Another disadvantage of the Elite 3D is, that it consumes 
two UPA slots. While it may make more sense to some, to have two Ceator 3D 
cards in a box, rather than one Elite3D.
