Well - the main problem is, that you cannot change the mode, so you have to
decide at boot time, if you want a readable console or want to run xggi
at a high resolution.
However, with most notebooks, the scaling of the display's non-native modes
looks so bad anyway, that you will probably start up X right away anyway,
so that is less of a problem.
Another limitiation is, that you usually cannot doublebuffer unless you
enable ypan support.
And the third one is: no acceleration. The missing of text drawing
acceleration already gets on my nerves quite a bit in XGGI (this is an XGGI
limitation), and missing rectangle fills and blits (which are accelerated
for me, as I wrote a driver for my card) will get on your nerves, if your
windowmanager uses them heavily.
