Probably more to the point, we should strive to provide some easy way of doing
it.  How do MacOS and Windows deal with the problem of different monitors and
resolutions?  I know on the Mac so far, I automatically get the available
resolutions, although Apple-style monitors have extra sense pins to provide
the info.

Ideally, I shouldn't have to ever think about my monitor or have to add
command line args to the kernel.  Such twiddling should be as rare as
possible.
