I am not sure if this is the right thing to do. If the first probed
resolution doesn't work, we will ask the user at least 2 questions and it
will take a lot of time to wait the timeout from the first one + the time
to start X a N amount of times, until it works. It would be only one if we
ask him directly which resolution he would like to have if the probe
fails.
