I find this interesting about Xvesa in a write-up about it at:
http://gnu.kookel.org/ftp/XFree86/WWW/htdocs/current/Xvesa.1.html

Run at your own risk.

Options

In addition to the normal KDrive server's options (see Xkdrive(1) ), Xvesa
accepts the following command line switches:

-mode n
specifies the VESA video mode to use. If mode n is not supported by your
BIOS and hardware, Xvesa will fail, hang your system, or cause your
monitor to explode; you are on your own. This option overrides any -screen
options

I like the part that says your monitor "Might explode"!
