    Most laptop LCDs and cheaper desktop panels take a while (The dreaded
    second or two) to switch resolutions. Try the patch with an external crt
    monitor plugged in and display mirroring enabled to see the difference for
    yourself (Or simply try it on a desktop with a radeon card and a crt).
