Quitting XaAES in any way causes a warm reset. But only on the Firebee.

That depends. It can be done quite cheaply I think. You pass the new
videomode to the AES with this call. XaAES could threat a reschange
exactly like a shutdown, until the shutdown has finished. Then it must
store the new videomode somewhere and restart. Then use the stored
videmode instead of the "video"-setting in xaaes.cnf.

It would not be a "proper" reschange, but for the applications it
doesn't matter and the effect would be exactly the same.
