How do different resolutions (pixel sizes) work? I get that everything memory related (including color mode and depth) could be switched on a raster line.

In theory it should be possible to change the frequency of the video signal mid screen as well, but I have a hard time to imagine switching repeatedly every frame wouldn't have driven the monitors of the time crazy. Even multi-sync monitors needed probably a couple of frames to sync, right?
