Indeed, but only during startup AFAIK.  What I am looking for is a
way to repeat the probing and calculation, _without_ restarting X.
And yes, I recognize that -- since X is not being restarted -- such
an operation will not affect what is being displayed:  it will only
produce a report.

The question is, is this possible?
