This doesn't need to be, and IMHO doesn't belong, in the kernel.
Assuming you mean DDC for getting monitor frequencies and such, X4
already does this automatically. If not there are apps out there like
read-edid that can do this in user-space. Combined with things like
anXious (or Progeny's dexter) this makes things quite easy.
