+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.
