I think it's key to segregate the mode setting from mode getting APIs
and work first to standardize the getting pieces; we can build an X
server that knows nothing about setting a mode and worry about the
vageries of hardware interaction sometime later.

We can then define some simplistic setting APIs for the one-card
one-monitor one-user situation and expect those to be extended for other
situations.
