As a temporary solution, I think it's okay -- but it's a problem that 
should be fixed in a generic way.

It should also adjust the other parameters.
The propose_mode() function in the accelerant should only make sure 
that the graphics card and monitor can show the mode - the Screen 
preferences should therefore ask for good modes. It should use the GTF 
to compute the modes that are not in the card's mode list.
