I'm using the dev/videomode stuff, which I presume is what you mean 
(dev/ic/videomode.h looks like an older version).  I'm currently just 
using the static list of modes in videomode.c to pick a mode from at boot.  
I'm not sure what the best practice is in this area, but that seemed like 
a good start.

Sadly, I don't think acorn32 systems have the hardware to support DDC.
