Yes it will, and you probably need a multiscanning monitor of some kind to
display it.  The 640x960 mode is a 31kHz mode, so the on-board VDE device
gets out of its way automatically.  Which is good, because the VDE device
doesn't have enough memory for a 960 line display, and it only samples
70ns pixels, not 35ns pixels.
