640x480 is the largest *safe* resolution to use without having DDC probe
data. Anything else can cause damage.

Yes its not a lot of space by modern standards but its not that long ago that
640x480 was hi-res, and its still way above PDA resolution. Its about how you
use it..

Another DDC item not handled is dynamic DDC changes
