The problem space here is when there's not "available modes" on a particular output, usually in the no-EDID case. It's reasonable there to be have the tool be able to generate timings (call out to cvt(1) for instance, or just copy them out of the xserver's DMT mode list), test applying them to the output, and remember the preference for them when that output is connected but sans EDID. This is something of an "Advanced..." button, I admit. But it's state that belongs in the same stream as what the display capplet already does. Actually, now that I've mentioned it, there could be some value in having RANDR expose the pre-built mode lists in the server, which would remove the need for Gnome to know how to generate things. - ajax
