We definitely want to *wait* on GetCapabilities() finishing, I believe
it should also update the notifier the same (or similar) way Update()
does.  But I don't think we want to send an Update() here, it'll
actually trigger a modeset (which, on earlier HW, will tear down the
boot mode.  Not sure about current HW, it might preserve state), and
we may not want that to happen there.
