But it's like the user being able to give DMA/IRQ settings for sound
cards in DOS, etc. There is always the potential for problems.

The driver doesn't allow that; the search algorithm is:

Run through list of know good resolutions
 - if this resolution is smaller than the requested resolution, reject 
   it.

 - if this resolution doesn't support our color depth, reject it.

 - if this is the first acceptable resolution, save it as best;
   otherwise, if this resolution is smaller than our best resolution,
   save it as best.

I'll have a look at adding some, if nobody disagrees.
