OK, I was hoping that maybe the docking station internals would allow the new

Trust "reality" to be slightly more complicated. Probably with a performance
penalty too.

It's doable hardware-wise, but I don't think anything supports this
at the moment. Basically you'd render to a buffer in GART memory with
the add-in card then blit it to the built-in chip for display.
