It should work with most monitors made since 1996 (except for +newer ones with 256-byte EDID's - WiP), assuming the video card supports the +standard read commands (most do).read-edid is a set of two tools - get-edid, +which gets the raw edid information from the monitor, and parse-edid, which +turns the raw binary information into an XF86Config-compatible monitor section. + +As of read-edid version 2.0.0, the lrmi code has been replaced by libx86 code +- same syntax, but allows for use on many more architectures. For powerpc, +there is a /proc interface, /proc/device-tree/pci/{video-card}/EDID, which +you can pipe to parse-edid. Some architectures, AFAIK, may be stuck with +only parse-edid. +EOF diff --git a/display/read-edid/HISTORY b/display/read-edid/HISTORY new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..cf38ba2fe4 --- /dev/null +++ b/display/read-edid/HISTORY @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +2009-09-04 Finn Haedicke <finn_haedicke@gmx.net> + * DEPENDS, DETAILS: spell created + |
