Limit minimum supported resolution

Project Member Reported by abodenha@chromium.org, Mar 9 2018

Issue description

There are reports that it's possible to set some displays to 720x400 (or similar). Doing so results in a lot of UI not working. In particular, it's not possible to use the settings UI to adjust the resolution back to something sane.

See b/74357661

The settings UI, keyboard shortcuts, and default behaviors should have some minimum that they can set the resolution to. I would suggest 800x600, but that's open for discussion.

Note that system.display.setDisplayProperties should NOT be affected by this limit.
 
I think we need to fix settings because the same issue will arise with new magnifier?

malaykeshav@ let's triage
Re#1 We should play with it to verify. With the docked magnifier open in 67 on cave I can set a minimum resolution of 960x540 and I'm able to use display settings with no troubles.
on 1366x768 device, 2/3 will be 512, and will be even shorter if you apply the zoom in.

marcheu@ pointed out that if a user connects a display where the best resolution available is below the limit they'll end up with a non-working display.  That's not ok.

Slightly modified proposal:  If the highest resolution a monitor supports is below our limit we allow it to work but display a warning notification.

Shouldn't we also fix the System Menu? I think it should size itself according to whatever space is available rather than being cutoff.

Regular menu does it, and system menu should do the same IMO.

Any update on this case?

+1 should definitely fix the system menu.

I'm taking this down to P2 and removing RBS based on internal discussions.
Hi, all:
Could I know which image will fix this issue? M66?
