No that is not correct. It always returned the correct set of modes if 
Xinerama is off. And it returned modes of all available screens for the 
screen 0 and nothing for all other screens if Xinerama is on

setDisplayMode() has been working if Xinerama is off. When Xinerama is 
on it could not set some modes for the screen 0 if there were 
incompatible modes from other screens in the list, and for all other 
screens there were no modes.
