How about we throw a flag in somewhere which will say?

Also, I've recently learned about a quirk of the new 17" Apple monitors.
They come with an ADB cable, and (believe it or not) you MUST hook it
up in order for the monitor to get recognized as a multi-sync. It comes
up as a 640x480 otherwise. It's a real pain in the neck.

So we might need to support generic ADB inquiries as part of the video
interrogation. I bet one sense pin setting basically just says go ask
the ADB. :-)

Take care,
