Are you sure?

xrandr (the command line tool) can switch the resolution to something 
that doesn't work.

GNOME's "Monitor Resolution Settings" capplet gives you the option to 
verify the resolution and goes back if you fail to click it within the 
timeout.

The way this works it may not be a good idea to rely on xrandr, unless 
somebody has a particularly good idea.
