Comment (by kallisti5):

 I have ongoing work to do this on my laptop, still a little buggy though.

 Fix:
   * Add calls to store a "preferredMode" for each screen.
   * If LVDS is found, set preferredMode
   * app_server then looks for a preferred Mode for the screen before using
 EDID
   * Thanks for the idea Axel.

 I hope to have something upstream soon to address this (hopefully before
 A4! :D )
