Luke, I hate to break the bad news to you - but (at least in Intrepid), that's NOT true.
I set my screen resolution/refresh rate to something higher than my monitor could display - and I got a blank screen. I had to actually *KILL POWER* to get the beast to reboot, and when I booted into recovery mode and chose "xfix" - it did me absolutely 100% of zero good at all. When the system came up - still no (usable) display. The ONLY thing that worked for me was to edit the "kernel=" line and add " -- bestResolution" to the end of the line. That restored me to a bogus - but viewable - resolution. I was then able to open the screen rez applet (which would ONLY allow me to "choose" the abysmal resolution I had), saved, and rebooted. I then had the same abysmal resolution and refresh rate, which I could then change (and save) into something more reasonable. I don't know what "xfix" is *supposed* to do, but it darn sure didn't fix MY "x". . . . . What say ye?
