Bug#522261: RFA: read-edid



Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

[CCing upstream author, and including his spamfilter bypass token:
4e0@12*ec011f9914a55&9bfbb42f90fd45 ]

I request an adopter for the read-edid package.

The package description is:
 read-edid consists of two tools:

 get-edid uses a VESA VBE 2 interrupt service routine request to read a 128
 byte EDID version 1 structure from your graphics card, which retrieves
 this information from the monitor via the Data Display Channel (DDC).

 parse-edid parses this data structure and outputs data suitable for
 inclusion into the XFree86 or X.org configuration file.

 get-edid uses architecture-specific methods for querying the video
 hardware (real-mode x86 instructions on i386, Open Firmware device tree
 parsing on PowerMac) and is therefore only available for i386 and powerpc
 architectures.
