Now I'm getting slightly confused. In comment #2 you state that it affects both
Xorg and Wayland.

Your request is noted.

Since I can't start Wayland under OpenSUSE Leap, I'm not able to reproduce
this. Under Fedora 23 the list mimics the kernel list of preconfigured modes,
and manual mode-switching works fine. Could you perhaps provide a screen-shot?
Also what do you consider "non-existing resolutions" and "actual resolutions"?
The reason I'm asking is that typically the kernel provides a list of
"standard" resolutions only that may or may not be perceived as relevant.
