  Description     : Graphical editor for monitor resolution and timing
data (EDID)

wxEDID is a wxWidgets based editor for Extended Display Identification
Data (EDID).

It operates on offline files that can be flashed to a monitor using the
technique described here: https://wiki.debian.org/RepairEDID.

This tool can modify the base EDID v1.3+ structure and the CEA/CTA-861-G,
as the first extension block. The program also provides a DTD constructor
to aid with the selection of suitable timings.

The tool can import and export EDID data in binary blob and in hexadecimal
formats.

As a small package with few prerequisites and two releases per year,
maintenance should be moderate. There was discussion if the software
should be packaged at all.

It is available in Suse and Archlinux, presumably because it is
helpful when fixing your monitor's EDID.

Kind regards
