Read is not enough. If you have connected one /dev/fbx to two monitors,
you must find highest common denominator for them, and use this one.

Err, i don't understand this ? Do you mean you are outputing to two
monitors at the same time ?

I think you mean lowest common denominator.

If that is so maybe you mean, speaking in graphic card terminology, and
not in fbdev one, that you are sharing one common framebuffer between
two outputs, right, possibly doing mirroring tricks or something such ?

Classic example is a SiS 6326 driving monitor and TV. You need to keep
the display to TV acceptable ranges.
