As per title, there needs to be a prompt after the user applies any changes to the display settings. In Linux, more so than any OS, it is very easy to specify settings that leaves the OS in a state where it is artifacting or black screening. This completely breaks userspace, preventing the user from even booting normally into the OS past the login screen (unless you know what you're doing in terminal).

Thus, in any case, there needs to be a simple prompt after the user applies any new settings changes in the Display Configuration menu... whereby the user is required to answer, otherwise the it reverts back to the previous settings in a specified amount of seconds.

e.g. The prompt would have "Are you sure you want to keep these changes" with a Yes/No button and a countdown timer.

This is more than just a feature request really, this is pretty much a bug NOT to have this IMO.

And you will press "Yes", and wrong settings will be applied and saved.
I think it's more preferable to make button "Test" or "Use" to apply new settings without permanent saving. So, you can reboot if something going wrong (Amiga-way ).

That'd be a solution as well. Either way works.
