Okay. But then I don't think a solution exists. So you can write a
FAQ entry saying the problem has no solution, or you can write one
including (something like) my patch (with a warning about updates,
and clearly labeling this as a /workaround/, not a /solution/), or
you can choose not to write a FAQ entry at all.
I get the distinct impression that Jeremy doesn't want to use a
solution like my patch, though he hasn't said so. I can understand
that; it is not very Apple-ish to ask the user to tell the computer
about the hardware. (OTOH, some people may even wish to lie to X11
about their screen resolution, and my patch lets them do that.)
Fine. As far as I can see now, there is no good way to get the desired
result (or even agreement perhaps what that might be!). If anyone can
correct me, please do, and tell me what it is!
If / when there is, I'll be happy to write the FAQ - if indeed that is
needed (an automatic solution would be better).
Best wishes
Ralph
