- remove ddcxinfos, replaced by monitor-edid (which is in a separate package)
- add many resolutions (they are structured by aspect ratio for next move) - put the "Monitor preferred modeline" from EDID in xorg.conf - for this ModeLine must be exported from the monitor section - specifying a VendorName|ModelName in auto_inst is valid, don't overwrite it with edid probe - the strange /dev/zero needed (?) by ddcxinfos is no more needed - field {size} is now {diagonal_size}, and is no more "corrected" - add @CVT_ratios and @CVT_vfreqs (unused at the moment) - Getopt::Long is needed by monitor-parse-edid

-This is some VBE/DDC stuff. It makes calls to the VESA extensions in the BIOS
-using a slightly modified version of Josh Vanderhoof's LRMI 0.6, and generally
-requires a 2.2 or newer kernel. The idea for reading EDID data from the BIOS
-came from Matt Wilson <msw@gimp.org>, as well as several ideas about better ways
-to lay out data structure declarations.
