this is required to make fullscreen output reliable across multiple
platforms. at the moment, if the exact resolution is unavailable, the
fullscreen display open fails -- but the user has no way of querying the
set of display modes available. THIS IS LAME

FIX IT! :)

also included in this, the ability to query the current display mode in 
windowed systems - this will allow the user 
to decide what size their window is based on the aspect ratio of the user's 
display, assuming square pixels
