if your game is supposed to run in X11 or some other display target as
well someday, then you can't count on this to be true.
you can only require that people use a standard VESA mode, but many
cards do not support this. it seems that you have to write the clever
time difference stuff after all :)
what kind of game is it? some types of games make this very hard,
some don't.
