[Bug 13253] New: simulate unavailable lower display resolutions

Summary: simulate unavailable lower display resolutions
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.0-rc1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown

I'm not quite sure where this request should be filed, so here goes.

I've found that some newer displays (laptops specifically) are not able to
provide the older traditional resolutions (640x480 or 800x600).

For instance on my T61p, only the following resolutions are available:

$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 512, current 1920 x 1200, maximum 1920 x 1200
default connected 1920x1200+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   1920x1200      50.0*    51.0     60.0     61.0  
   1680x1050      52.0  
   1600x1024      53.0  
   1400x1050      54.0  
   1280x1024      55.0  
   840x525        56.0  
   800x512        57.0  
   700x525        58.0  
   640x512        59.0

Some applications will not start unless they can change to their desired
resolution (BF1942's intros require 800x600).  While it is possible to
configure wine to provide a windowed virtual desktop, this doesn't tend to work
very well with many games/applications that once started can actual run at one
of the higher native full screen resolutions.

What I'm thinking would be a good compromise would be to simply utilize the
first resolution that would wholly encompass the requested resolution and
center the output when the requested resolution doesn't exist.  So, for example
with BF1942, it would get the 1280x1024 screen resolution and the 800x600 intro
movies would be centered.

Does this make sense?
