I'm not worried about getting the video controller to run at a given mode at

figure out what mode my old 20" Sun fixed frequency, sync on green, montor
connected via a hd15->13W3 converter should run at boot time. Monitors that
support DDC aren't a big problem, but ones that don't are very hard. Perhaps in
the end, a user configurable default video mode should be available in
situations where the card simply cannot tell what to do.

I think whats needed is a ddc capable adapter box separate from the
card is better. that box can have headers or whatever switching
arrangement is necessary to tell the card what the preferred mode is.
that way whatever fixed mode hardware is "standardised".
