Comment (by axeld):
Replying to [comment:20 bga]:
> Does this change seem reasonable? It seems, based on the comment in the
code, that not filling the initial mode list with the vesa modes when we
have EDID is simply an optimization and does not really serve any other
purpose and the EDID info alone is not "good enough", as can be noticed in
my case.
The reason for putting that check in there was because to lower the number
of extraneous resolutions presented in the Screen preferences. However,
that's really not the place where this filtering should be done, so your
change definitely sound reasonable.
We should just put some filter in the Screen preferences (possibly one
that can be disabled if needed), so that you only get a few common modes,
and not so many of them, most of them unusable anyway.
