Comment 7 for bug 36810

Paul, thanks a lot for your explanation. Now things are a lot clearer to me.

It appears to me that if auto-detecting/configuring monitors is not an issue, having the option to update the "rest of parameters" (can you name them?) with 915resolution would already help a lot. I'm sure I can retrieve the values from my monitor without the help of X, possibly with a tool under Windows.
