I'd been saying before that it's probably the job of userland to cook up
a bunch of random modes for continuous-frequency outputs, if it wants to
for its interface to users.  Some sort of server interface for "give me
a collection of modes below this size at this refresh" (lvds) and "give
me a collection of modes below this size at various refreshes" (vga)
seems like it'd be nice for KMS drivers.
