Update on RandR changes from DDC

[Jim Gettys]

I don't think so, quite.  That doesn't tell you effective != frame
buffer resolution, just that the size changed (which it hasn't).

One might still presume that a single pixel wide line would be a good
strategy, whereas what you want is enough information to know you should
thicken the line.  Since the effective resolution is less than the
resolution of the frame buffer, you don't get that information.
