6. Video modes
Mode timings can be derived from the information in XFree86's doc subdirectory.
However, it is no longer required to specify such timings in an XF86Config's
``Monitor'' section(s), if only standard mode timings are to be used.
The server automatically inserts VESA standard mode timings in every
``Monitor'' section, and these modes will be checked first for mode constraints
(monitor sync tolerances, video memory size, etc.).
Furthermore, it is also no longer required to specify mode names in ``Display''
subsections.
Should no mode names be specified (or those specified do not yield a usable
mode), the server will automatically select as a default resolution the largest
usable mode, whether or not the chosen mode is specified in the corresponding
``Monitor'' section.
For a digital flat panel, any sync tolerances should be removed from the
corresponding ``Monitor'' section.
The driver will automatically calculate these from the mode that is active on
server entry.
The driver also inserts timings for a mode called "Native panel mode"
that represents the panel's native resolution.
