Comment (by stargatefan):

 there is source code for vesa 3 for the NewOs kernel "upon which haiku was
 heavily built" that should hopefully offer a good bit more flexability in
 this regard. I will see if it is ok to post the source code here. If it is
 I will attach it to this ticket. That in thoery should enable a great deal
 more modesetting.

   On alot of newer gpu's the 2d acceleration is done with the regular 3d
 hardware but emulated by software AFAIK.
