What would be nice is true OS level support... something that would display VGA aware progs in 640x480 (if the user enabled this res) and scale the graphics and screen tap mapping to non VGA happy progs, so the user does not have to soft reset to switch back and forth (ie. launch some progs under ozvga and the screen displays just fine, but all input expects to be mapped from the upper left quadrant)

maybe i misunderstand but HI_RES_AWARE apps do run at 640x480 tcpmp (beta player) is one example i can think of, pocket IE is another

ie. beta player wont run at a higher resolution when launched in true VGA mode
