Support for the resize portion of RandR is in current XFree86 CVS and 
works on all XFree86 drivers.  This support doesn't rerun DDC or EDID so 
that switching monitors won't give the desired results, but at least you
can resize the screen to modes supported by the original monitor.

Reprobing and rotation support are available in the kdrive vesa server
and serve to demonstrate those portions of the extension.
