The question, of course, is the performance under those circumstances.

For safe mode, performance obviously doesn't count. VESA shouldn't either. 

If you're designing for a GL-free system, then you design your eyecandy with 
that in mind.

Also, with Qt Quick 2 on Scene Graph, the animations and whizbang will 
gracefully degrade, as they are vsync-driven. If you can't paint more than 
1fps, then 1fps is all you get.
