It just fixes the mode-change regression... it doesn't add support for the extended resolution changes.

No.  Display capturing doesn't quite work right for us.  The guard window is at the highest level - 1, but we need 5 window levels ... I tried updating the window level, hiding the guard window, and other tricks with no success.  I haven't given up, but it is not as simple as "just capture the display"
