I've seen flatscreens that can turn.  With a little hackery in the
software driving it (the X server or moral equivalent), that's it.

It is, unless you use an unusually wide font or unusually wide xterms.

For a time I had a 1600x1280 monochrome (1bpp) framebuffer with a mono
monitor - no shadow mask and thus a really crisp display.
Unfortunately it dimmed into uselessness some years back, but I haven't
forgotten. :-)  Using `fixed', 1600 is enough for three 80-column
windows with some 150 pixels to spare (or perhaps less depending on how
much additional border thickness your window manager adds).
