We have to verify the selected mode as Userspace might request one which we can't configure the GPU for. X with the modesetting DDX is adding a bunch of modes, some so far outside of hardware limits that things simply break. Sadly we can't fix X this way as on start it sticks to one mode and ignores any error and there is really nothing we can do about this, but at least this way we won't let the GPU run into any errors caused by a non supported display mode. However this does prevent X from switching to such a mode, which to be fair is an improvement as well. Seen on one of my Tesla GPUs with a connected 4K display.
