However, if something asks for 640x480, but we need to do 1152x900, we could just put the lower res in the upper left corner of the display or something.
Since we would be dealing with monitors that other standard boards probably don't support, I think that that would be sufficient for the boot up till the Kernel was loaded. Then with the current Linux Kernel, we can, IIUC, make a Kernel driver so that we get full screen for the text console. I would hope that we could do the same for other *NIXs.
Once X11 starts, there is no problem since it will support any size screen as long as you have a modeline. IIUC, you only have to supply a modeline if you have some weird size screen or frequencies -- it now comes with the standard ones built in.
