Comment:

 I read the VBE 3 specification. Bad news: it does not allow setting more
 video resolutions than VBE 2 which we are currently using. It only allows
 changing the refresh rate for already supported display resolutions.

 So, this will not solve the original issue, and not bring us much more
 functionality. Since we now have a native driver for the mentionned Radeon
 cards, I am closing this ticket.
