No - you are right, but they can check. The chipset can simply try a mode 
it can handle and it thinks is fast.

Hmm - how would you handle it in usermode (other than relying on 
LIBGGI_DEFMODE ?)

In kernelmode I think it is easy: Use some reasonable default mode, check it 
and return the suggested mode.
