+ * Notes:
+ * This code handles the different types of monitors that are out their.
+ * Most video cards for example can support a mode like 800x600 but fix
+ * frequency monitors can't. So the code here checks if the monitor can
+ * support the mode as well as the card can. Fbmonospecs takes on
+ * different meaning with different types of monitors. For multifrequency
+ * monitors fbmonospecs represents the range of frequencies the monitor
+ * can support. Only one fbmonospec needs to be allocated. The fbmonospecs
+ * pointer in fb_info points to this one. If you specific a mode that has
+ * timing greater than the allowed range then setting the video mode will
+ * fail. With multifrequency monitors you can set any mode you like as long
+ * as you have a programmable clock on the video card.
+ * With fixed frequency monitors you have only a SET of very narrow
+ * allowed frequency ranges. So for a fixed fequency monitor you have a
+ * array of fbmonospecs. The fbmonospecs in fb_info represents the
+ * monitor frequency for the CURRENT mode. If you change the mode and ask
+ * for fbmonospecs you will NOT get the same values as before. Note this
+ * is not true for multifrequency monitors where you do get the same
+ * fbmonospecs each time. Also the values in each fbmonospecs represent the
+ * very narrow frequency band for range. Well you can't have exactly the
+ * same frequencies from fixed monitor. So some tolerance is excepted.
+ * By DEFAULT all monitors are assumed fixed frequency since they are so
+ * easy to fry or screw up a mode with. Just try setting a 800x600 mode on
+ * one. After you boot you can run a simple program the tells what kind of
+ * monitor you have. If you have a multifrequency monitor then you can set
+ * any mode size you like as long as your video card has a programmable clock.
+ * By default also besides assuming you have a fixed frequency monitor it
+ * assumes the monitor only supports lower modes. This way for example you
+ * can't set a 1280x1024 mode on a fixed frequency monitor that can only
+ * support up to 1024x768.
