Are there any emulators that support VBE EDID?

As the title says, I'm trying to implement VBE EDID to use the preferred resolution on the monitor instead of hard-coding the screen resolution to 800x600, and only use 800x600 as a fallback option.
AFAIK, Bochs, QEMU and VirtualBox don't support EDID. I don't want to keep rebooting my test PC hundreds of times per minute; are there any emulators/virtual machines that support EDID?

Thanks in advance!

I am quite sure Parallels does. :?

Never mind; EDID was easier than I thought and I only rebooted my PC three times to get it right. My test PC now defaults to 1024x768 and my laptop defaults to 1366x768, and emulators (because they don't support EDID) use 800x600. :)
