For some Mac video cards, we don't actually know how to change the
current resolution.
and, if we use, for that, this enter point
NUBUS_RESID_VIDNAMES = 0x0041,
NUBUS_RESID_VIDMODES = 0x007e
from

This is why in general users are expected to just
stay with the settings they had before booting Linux.
