I assume this should also allow machines which vesa bios lists a
non-standard "native" resolution to work - even if they're missing
from the list of pre-specified modes in create_display_modes.cpp ?


Yes, that's pretty much the purpose of the change :-)


I gave this a whirl on my Radeon HD 3200 and 4350...
It didn't work on either for 1600x900. I think trying to set extended video modes through the vesa bios doesn't work all of the time even though 
they are listed by vesa. (at least on the Radeon HD cards I tested)

Could we inject a few standardized refresh rates into the list?
 (having a single drop down with 60Hz / Other looks odd)

Thanks!
