That is ridiculous.  My monitor does not /have/ an EDID, so it /cannot/ be
detected, but it is perfectly able to show 1280x1024, and openchrome is able to
provide that mode when it is told to generate it and that a monitor is there.

What you are proposing is to /willingly/ cripple devices that can work
flawlessly if you allow users to provide the data that the driver can't detect.

It is not a "limp mode", it is a "drive-blind mode" -- trust the user, give him
the wheel, and the clutch, and the accelerator.
