I needed to check my screen resolution and so I used the
xrandr utility:

#[~] xrandr

Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 2560 x 1440, maximum 32767 x 32767
....

I've never before noticed this "maximum" value of 32767 x 32767.
Does this mean that X Window is actually capable of handling
screen resolutions of that size?

Of course, the video card cannot display that size but, in
principle, if some device could display it then would X be able
to handle it?

If so, the venerable X Window system can blow that garbage
Microslop Winblows clear out of the water.
