There are fixed frequency monitors that can be connected to standard
PC graphics adapters and which do not support the standard VGA
timings. However, they cannot show the standard text mode screen
either.
It would be nice to support boot messages on such a monitor, but that
would probably mean including something like KGI in the kernel.
