Bug#306172: xresprobe: Broken ddcprobe (edidfail)?

[Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>]

Package: xresprobe
Version: 0.4.16-1
Severity: important
File: /usr/sbin/ddcprobe

When I run ddcprobe on one of my machines, I do not get the result I
expect.  xdebconfigurator used to work with the ddcprobe in woody, and
it is looking for lines like this:

   ID: 4538
   EISA ID: API4538
   Screen size max 27 cm horizontal, 20 cm vertical.
    640x480 @ 75 Hz (VESA)

But I only get this output.  Notice the 'edidfail' at the end, which I
suspect indicate a problem.
