I didn't say there'd be any error messages or warnings.  There is 
at least 4 or 5 screens or more full of X server startup 
information though, and part of that information is a complete 
detailed listing of every single video mode known to the X server 
and wether it was accepted, or rejected, and if rejected - why it 
was rejected.  That's the information you're looking for.
