I guess I could try to do something fancier if people want, but I'd be interested in _what_ fancier thing I should do if so. Do we want the rule to remain that we always prefer 640x480, or do we want to prefer the lowest resolution? ...do we want to prefer 60 Hz or the lowest refresh rate? Do we do this only for DP (which explicitly calls out 640x480 @60Hz as the best failsafe) or for everything? For now, the way it's coded up seems reasonable (to me). It's the lowest resolution _and_ it's 640x480 just because of the current values of the table. I suspect that extra lower resolution failsafe modes won't be added, but we can always change the rules here if/when they are. -Doug
