xorg.conf* screen resolution via PreferredMode disregarded by X if valid video=
on cmdline

<a href="https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=841696">https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=841696</a> has much detail, but here's
the important excerpt (updated):

*****start*****
xorg.conf's "PreferredMode" regardless of presence or not of video= on cmdline
is obeyed by X in:
13.1M4 using:
  rv200/radeon/KDM3 (host gx27b)
  nv11/nouveau/KDM3 (host kt880)
  i845G/intel/KDM3 (host gx260)
  i915/intel/KDM3 (host gx280)
  i945/intel/KDM4.11.1 (64 bit host gx62b)
13.1B1 using:
  rv200/radeon/KDM3 (host gx27b)
  nv11/nouveau/KDM3 (host kt880)

valid video= on cmdline overrides valid PreferredMode set in xorg.conf* in:
13.1B1 using:
  i845G/intel/KDM3 (host gx260)
  i915/intel/KDM3 (host gx280; accompanying attachment)
  i945/intel/KDM4.11.1 (64 bit host gx62b)
  G41/intel/KDM4.11.1 (64 bit host big41)
*****end*****

In Mageia 4 Cauldron, even with neither vga= nor video= on cmdline,
PreferredMode is disregarded.</pre>
