multiple "mode sensing" scans in Xorg.0.log .... ?

[Tom London]

Running on a Thinkpad X60 with Intel 945 graphics, intel driver.

I notice that Xorg.0.log seems to repeat the mode sensing sequence
over and over again.

For example:

[root at localhost ~]# grep 'DDC gathered Modelines' $_ | wc
     16      96     768
[root at localhost ~]#

It appears to be the same "stuff" repeated 16 times.

Anyone know if that is to be expected?
