Yes, I wish the set-up phase would assess would it could, and test it.
Then let you preset it always work that way, or preset to always
auto-configure (useful with mobile computers, where you used other
displays).  Or, if that didn't work, you could tweak until it did work,
then preset the box to always work that way, and not try to
auto-configure (and fail) each time.  But the point being to let you fix
a specific configuration into it.

I've got one or two systems where the automatic configuration doesn't
work.  It refuses to use the monitor at its top resolution, yet the
monitor works if hand configured to work that way, but it's a fight to
do so.

But I do understand the problem of trying to configure without the right
information.  It's not just x by y pixels, the dot clock has to have the
right proportional relationship to the horizontal and vertical scan
rates, for it to be able to work.
