If it works then we can resolve this issue. No, no, no... First, we would have to fix all drivers to properly probe monitors or provide some valid monitor data for things that cannot be probed. Then, I don't think modedb is really an fbcon matter. I completely agree with Geert here, I think the current scheme is backward.
