Comment (by rudolfc):

 Hmm,

 One more important item is RAM bandwidth: this is especially an item on
 higher res modes, with high colorspace, on shared RAM solutions (cheaper
 videocards, some laptops..):

 So, if the total RAM bandwidth used for the mode itself leaves not enough
 bandwidth for next to that fetching overlay images.. the hooks will, for
 these modes, not be exported.

 Rudolf.
