Hi, the autodetect code does not work correctly with a LG L226WTQ 
(native resolution 1680x1050). The detected mode (11) works fine without
fullscreen, but goes out of range with '-f'.

Resolutions w/o fullscreen:
OK: 2, 3, 7, 8, 11, 12
BAD: 1, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13

Resolutions with fullscreen:
OK: 2, 3, 7, 8
BAD: 1, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
