That depends on how you intend to implement it, I guess. If you really
want to ignore the refresh rate, then I don't think this is a good
change - you should only add modes that the current monitor supports,
at least.
I think we should improve the mode generation, anyway, and also use the
GTF (Generalized Timing Formula) to compute the modes. The add-on
should only provide substitutes to the app_server maintained mode list
(+EDID help) in case the specific mode does not work properly
otherwise, or does not contain a mode (when there is no EDID but a
fixed panel resolution).
Bye,
Axel.
