 ..or if can be done in hardware (faster) it should be done by the
server.  (have you seen XF86_S3 on a 2MB PCI S3 764?  1600x1200 virtual
in 8bpp, 1024x768 @80 Hz real.  or 1152x900 virtual in 16bpp...
and the xterms are faster than the virtual consoles on MiNT. :)

 anyway wasn't there this little bigscrn.prg back in the old days?
maybe it works with MiNT X too...  if you've got the memory.

 have fun
