Thinking again ... I think you are right, it's best to move
UpdatePanelSize and friends there, collecting infos, even if that means
doing 2 iterations through the DDC info, that will make things simpler &
clearer. I'll work on that next week.

Then, ValidateDDCMode becomes a simple mode collection again. BTW, I
fail to see how it would harm calling it with UseBIOSDividers since
basically the mode will only be an x/y scale to apply to the RMX ... Or
was it because UpdatePanelSize(), when called by ValidateDDCMode(),
could eventually override panel infos with incorrect data from DDC ?
(Which I tried to avoid in my patch).

Ben.
