monitor-edid/vbe.c, branch 2.4

monitor-get-edid-using-vbe:

2009-09-06T12:56:21+00:00

 check if the port supports DDC before trying to read EDID data (this
 should prevent problems when probing nonexistent ports on old cards)

- remove internal lrmi.c, build with external liblrmi instead

- monitor-get-edid:

2008-01-08T18:14:54+00:00

  o minimal support for getting EDID from different DDC port
    (experimental, need testing before using it in monitor-edid)

this is inspired from SuSE's hwinfo. note:
- we may need to not redo vbe_check_vbe_info() for each vbe_get_edid_info() if
  we want to get many ports. It would need a little re-architecturing
  (since returning list in C is not great fun)
- hwinfo is probing ports 0,1 by default,
  (hwinfo says: some BIOSes crash when you try more)
  and 0,1,2 on Dell and nvidia-based laptops

remove dead code

2006-08-31T13:56:43+00:00

- Merge in newer code. Mostly factorisation for mapped reads

2006-08-31T13:48:59+00:00

- Ignore VBIOS CRC check failures to be in-line with older LRMI-based code
- Use CPU emulator when CRC check fail to be on the safe side
- Add new options: --map-bios-vram, --check-bios-crc, --use-cpuemu

fix fallback logic

2006-08-31T12:25:30+00:00

fix a segfault occuring on some boxes in monitor-get-edid-using-vbe, when using try-in-console
