Summary : Tool for probing and parsing monitor EDID
Description :
Monitor-edid is a tool for probing and parsing Extended display
identification data (EDID) from monitors.
For more information about EDID, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDID

Update Information:
Upstream Changelog Version 2.5 - monitor-probe-using-X: o disable glx
module to speed up X startup, especially if a proprietary glx module is in use
(fixes a timeout observed by Anssi Hannula) o use -sharevts for X server when
plymouth is active, as VT switching does not work at that point (fixes Mandriva
bug #53736) Version 2.4 - monitor-parse-edid: o ignore the Manufacturer
Specified Range Timing descriptor if the first detailed timing descriptor
appears to violate it (this probably means that the descriptor is actually
something else or in a different format; this fixes Lenovo W500 detection,
reported by Udo Rader) Version 2.3 - monitor-get-edid-using-vbe: o update
x86emu from xserver git (fixes issues at least with newish NVIDIA cards) o
check if the port supports DDC before trying to read EDID data (this should
prevent problems when probing nonexistent ports on old cards) - monitor-edid,
monitor-get-edid: o probe ports 0-2 by default instead of just 0-1 (many NVIDIA
cards seem to be using port 2 and the changes in monitor-get-edid-using-vbe
should make it safe for old problematic NVIDIA cards as well) Version 2.2
- monitor-edid, monitor-get-edid: o support getting EDID from kernel DRM when
kernel mode-setting is enabled (Anssi Hannula) - monitor-probe-using-X: o use
resolution from LVDS initial mode when X reports that it is exact, making it
work with nouveau driver (Anssi Hannula) Version 2.1 - monitor-parse-edid:
o compute and display the "dpi" of the preferred modelines o handle parsing of
EDIDs found in "xrandr --prop" or Xorg.log - monitor-get-edid-using-vbe: o
fix
checking the current vt o instead of checking vt >= 7 to know if X is running,
check wether $DISPLAY is set Version 2.0 - change license from LGPLv2+ to
GPLv3+ - drop cvt (xorg now bundles a similar version) - remove internal
lrmi.c, build with external liblrmi instead (Remi Collet and Ville Skyttä)
