[quake3] [PATCH] additional vidModes

[David Chait]

It would be good if it could at least autodetect the desktop display 
setting, and make sure that is in the list (add it if not!).  That'd be a 
decent 'starting' solution.

If the system isn't autodetecting the proper aspect ratio based on the 
aspect resolution being non-4x3, it'll need to be enhanced... ;)  Again, the 
tricky thing is that some displays aren't square pixels, but I wouldn't 
worry about them to start with (could add something later to compensate). 
I'm sure there's a FOV setting in the config somewhere, but given that we've 
got 16:9, 16:10, 15:9, and wacky intermediates, best to compute a relative 
FOV it if the mode is obviously non-4:3 ratio.
