- 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 a preliminary version of a VGA softbooter for LINUX.
-
-It makes use of the of the vm86() call and is therefore only
-usable on ix86 systems.
-There are plans to port this program to use a x86 emulator
-like x86emu. Also it may be ported to other operating systems.
-
-So far it has been tested on a small number of cards. It might
-well be that it will fail on your card.
-
-If you need to make modifications to the programs to be able
-to boot your card please let the author know.
-
-So far there is no command line interface. All options need
-to be hardcoded. You can do this by editing debug.h. You can
-turn on a bunch of debug output. Other options allow you to
-boot the primary card (CONFIG_ACTIVE_DEVICE), save the bios
-to a file (SAVE_BIOS), and map the original system bios
-(MAP_SYS_BIOS).
-
-The author wants to thank
- Hans Lermen (dosemu)
- and
- Kendall Bennett (x86emu)
-for their support.
-
-Parts of the code - especially in v86.c and io.c - are based on code
-taken from dosemu. Parts of the code in int.c are based on code taken
-from x86emu
