Yeah, I hadn't thought of that. We could punt and just report the
'maximum' size as EDID does. I'd hate to try and figure out precisely
what a monitor is going to do with an arbitrary modeline; CRTs often
shift images around, and of course, LCDs often do weird things with
analog signals.

Does this matter much?
