There are graphical (framebuffer based, no X needed) terminal emulators
for GNU/Linux which don't have this limitation on the number of glyphs,
in particular fbterm is quite nice, see the thread around

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/143665

There's also the newer (and perhaps not so widely available?) kmscon.

(Also, FreeBSD now provides a very capable graphical console out of the
box.)
