Also it turns out the performance still sucks, ie no better than VESA.
I tried scfb but a) defaults to 1024x768 and b) it wasn't much faster (if
any).

So, if anyone has any other ideas I'm all ears :(

I've filed a PR against the port (240294) although I suspect it's more
likely to be a kernel issue.
