None of this should really matter, if you attach a different monitor, 
the video card will detect the DCC signals (or sensing pins on older 
Apple monitors) and adjust accordingly. That is why monitors have them, 
it will report some of the acceptable resolutions and frequencies.

As such, when you attach a new monitor, the video card usually will 
default to 640x480 @ 67Hz. The OS won't fight it because of the DCC 
signals coming from the monitor.

Well, this is how it is supposed to work anyway, in my experience, it 
does 99% of the time.
