Well it's possible, but currently I'm doing 320x240 on standard VGA hardware.  
If I make it possible to use 640x480 with more than 16 colors, then that would 
require me to use a VESA (SVGA) mode, so at that point we might as well go all 
out and allow high-res images :)

I'll have to see how the situation develops.  I'll know more once I do some 
research and experiments using the VESA API.
