Hi, Ref item 9 on <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Meeting/20070813>, here is a update proposal for the stable release. I propose to update the version of xdebconfigurator in the stable repository from 1.30.edu.etch.1 to 1.34~edu.etch.1 This update will improve support for several graphic cards and monitors. Additionally xresprobe is not supported and prefered over ddcprobe and read-edid. It has been available and in production use since June 2008. The changelog is quite long: +xdebconfigurator (1.34~edu.etch.1) terra; urgency=low + * Backport to Debian Edu/Etch. + -- Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@debian.org> Wed, 25 Jun 2008 19:38:09 +0200 + +xdebconfigurator (1.34) unstable; urgency=low + + * Rewrite how ddcprobe output is processed, to handle all listed + resolutions and fetch monitor frequence. + * Add example output from ddcprobe on a few machines. + * Add support for xresprobe, and prefer it over ddcprobe. Recommend + it instead of read-edid (Closes: #286668, #305423, #305426, + #418746). + * Rewrite handling of the monitor database + (/usr/share/hwdata/MonitorsDB), to use the values there if the + eisa ID is there.
