This is definately not for all Xserver. For example on linux the resolution is
given in the XF86Config and you can start an Xserver with display :1 just with
the command 'X :1'. If several resolutions are given it even possible to
switch between the different resolutions with Ctrl_Alt_+ and Ctrl_Alt_-. The
dimension of root stays the always the same.
