Comment (by kallisti5):

 The largest thing left to fix here is the lack of multi-head support in
 the AppServer.

 The core problem is that currently we use the vesa edid mode for all
 monitors as the appserver doesn't pass which mode to set on which display.
 However the edid modes from vesa don't reflect *any* DisplayPort edid info
 as the DisplayPort monitors have to be probed.

 We could set the "preferred/native mode" on each display, but this would
 mean the end user would get 0 choice on what displaymode to set where.
