YES! Do that! It has bothered me for a long time, now. That's one
reasons I'm more affraid to use xdm.

What if your video card starts having problem?

What if you test a new resolution, and the computer reboots?

I guess the bug is in xdm. It should even try a default VGA mode if it
fails to load in the default resolution, before giving you a text
console, and a error message.
