Hi James !

I'm using Linux on an embedded device with the PXA 250 processor. Those
embedded devices (Sharp Zaurus, Compaq IPaq, M&N Ramses, whatever) usually
use an LCD display, the CPU-built-in LCD controller and some fixed LCD with
320x240 or so.

So, no one would ever use fbset to change resolutions. And no monitor would
answer EDID requests. On Linux 2.6-test I found that the framebuffer code
includes lots of display settings and the EDID query code. Does this patch
look fine to you?  Or did I miss something important for other
architectures?
