Speaking of resolutions, it would be quite nice to support EDID
(information from a monitor about its capabilities) and monitor
hotplug emulation. In particular, that would make it possible to run
QEMU in full-screen mode on any screen size, without borders or
scaling. There is a VGA BIOS call to get EDID info, although I'm not
sure if it supports monitor hotplug, or which guests use it. Any
thoughts on that?
