Does this mean that X Window is actually capable of handling
screen resolutions of that size?

If so, the venerable X Window system can blow that garbage

Well, I think that's just saying that its compiled as a signed 16 bit
int, since that's the largest number that can hold. Checking mine, it
says 16384, which.. I guess means its compiled as a 4 byte integer?
