Implementing the GetModeTiming Call

GetModeTiming is used by the Display Manager to gather scan timing information. If the driver does not believe the display is capable of being driven with the desired resolution, it marks the kModeValid and kModeSafe bits of the csTimingFlags field false. This indicates to the Display Manager that the driver doesn't think the display can handle the resolution but will let the Display Manager make the final decision, possibly by asking another software module for more information.
