Multiple frames and MM

I'm sure this is documented somewhere (prolly in the source code...) but I
have a quick question about the allocation of frames and where they live.

	Frames are useful if one application needs access to a number of
framebuffers, right? IE, if it wants to have a separate window which itself
acts as an independent GGI visual... Or if it wants to be able to swap
between multiple screens...

	How, then, is the situation handled when you try to allocate more
'frames' than the card's framebuffer has room for? Is storage transparently
moved to other system resources?

Also, is it possible to have different modes on different frames within a
process?
