Maybe "application that uses VBE" was a bad way to put it. If I 
re-phrase the question as "Does anyone know whether there's any 
application running under the X "vesa" driver or the Windows "Generic 
VGA" or similar  unaccellerated driver that makes use of a larger than 
triple-buffered (xres * yres * 4) linear framebuffer, or whether the 
unaccellerated drivers themselves do so in any way?" it will yield more 
interesting answers. :)
