Name : monitor-edid
Product : Fedora 11
Version : 2.4
Release : 1.fc11
URL : http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Tools/monitor-edid
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 2.4 - 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
