What the reason for that? It looks wrong to require the resolution to
be specified, we need to be able to move disks around between systes
and there are also still systems with external monitors. :)

Almost all hardware sets up the native resolution and we should just
query that instead of writing it to disk. What's different on the
machines you work with?
