Hey Kamaraju. I can't see anything useful in there. I'd suggest
hwinfo, but no telling if it would see the second monitor and report
it. Might be worth a try anyway?
I think your best bet is that "read EDID" suggestion. Too bad you
can't just hook it up to another box and boot Knoppix. That'd sort it
out soon enough. Bon chance. :-P
