Windows XP and OS X work around this hardware limitation, most likely by
doing the same thing as the shatter work for Xorg. Basically it splits
the screen into "shards" and renders them separately which works around
the limitation. However, there is a still a lot of work that needs to be
done for this to work in Xorg so I would not expect to see it any time
soon. Maybe in a year or so at the rate it has been going so far.
