- monitor-get-edid-using-vbe:
o remove all x86emu and vga softbootloader code, and always use the
LRMI interface which was previously the backup one on 32-bit x86;
libx86 is now used instead of liblrmi, allowing the use of LRMI
interface on non-x86 hosts as well (fixes Mandriva bug #53866, which
was caused by a bug in the removed code)
o fix the retrieval of VBE vendor strings when using the LRMI interface
o retrieve up to 4 EDID extension blocks
o add --skip-vbe-check for skipping call for VBE info; useful if
calling the program multiple times for different ports
o on failure, return exit status 2 if no successful VBE calls were made
o never retry in console mode if the card reports that the port does
not support DDC (usually this means that the port has no display
devices connected)
- monitor-parse-edid:
o print EDID version and the number of EDID extension blocks
o accept EDID data with multiple extension blocks
o add support for Detailed Timing Descriptors in CEA EDID Timing
Extension
o add support for Short Video Descriptor formats 1-64 (as defined by
EIA/CEA-861) in Video Data Blocks of CEA EDID Timing Extension
o set Interlace flag for ModeLines created for interlaced Detailed
Timings (and note it in the ModeLine comment)
o correctly parse some interlaced video timings if the Detailed Timing
Descriptor specifies field vertical parameters instead of the frame
parameters (at least Fujitsu-Siemens Myrica VQ32-1T testcase)
o ignore 1x1 modes (at least Nokia Valuegraph 447w testcase)
o add support for standard timing descriptors in monitor descriptors
o add comment "Monitor preferred modeline" only for the modeline the
monitor reports as preferred, and add "Monitor supported modeline"
comment for the other modelines
- monitor-edid, monitor-get-edid:
o do not get duplicate EDIDs if the same EDID is available via
multiple methods
o allow retrieval of multiple EDIDs via VBE
- monitor-edid:
o add --first support for stopping processing after one EDID has been
found
Version 2.5 - 18 October 2009, by Anssi Hannula
- monitor-probe-using-X:
o disable glx module to speed up X startup, especially if a proprietary
glx module is in use (fixes a timeout with slow filesystems)
o use -sharevts for X server when plymouth is active, as VT switching
does not work at that point (fixes Mandriva bug #53736)
Version 2.4 - 1 October 2009, by Anssi Hannula
- monitor-parse-edid:
o ignore the Manufacturer Specified Range Timing descriptor if the
first detailed timing descriptor appears to violate it (this probably
means that the descriptor is actually something else or in a
different format; this fixes Lenovo W500 detection, reported by Udo
Rader)
Version 2.3 - 6 September 2009, by Anssi Hannula
- monitor-get-edid-using-vbe:
o update x86emu from xserver git (fixes issues at least with newish
NVIDIA cards)
o check if the port supports DDC before trying to read EDID data (this
should prevent problems when probing nonexistent ports on old cards)
- monitor-edid, monitor-get-edid:
o probe ports 0-2 by default instead of just 0-1 (many NVIDIA cards
seem to be using port 2 and the changes in monitor-get-edid-using-vbe
should make it safe for old problematic NVIDIA cards as well)
Version 2.2 - 16 August 2009, by Anssi Hannula
- monitor-edid, monitor-get-edid:
o support getting EDID from kernel DRM when kernel mode-setting is
enabled
- monitor-probe-using-X:
o use resolution from LVDS initial mode when X reports that it is exact,
making it work with nouveau driver
Version 2.1 - 7 July 2008, by Pixel
- monitor-parse-edid:
o compute and display the "dpi" of the preferred modelines
o handle parsing of EDIDs found in "xrandr --prop" or Xorg.log
- monitor-get-edid-using-vbe:
o fix checking the current vt
o instead of checking vt >= 7 to know if X is running,
check wether $DISPLAY is set
Version 2.0 - 8 April 2008, by Pixel
- change license from LGPLv2+ to GPLv3+
- drop cvt (xorg now bundles a similar version)
- remove internal lrmi.c, build with external liblrmi instead
(Remi Collet and Ville Skyttä)
Version 1.16 - 10 March 2008, by Pixel
- do not install monitor-get-edid-using-vbe on archs where VBE is not
available (Remi Collet)
Version 1.15 - 23 January 2008, by Pixel
- monitor-probe:
o probe "using DMI" before "using X"
- monitor-probe-using-X:
o in last resort, get Intel BIOS mode when "BIOS panel mode is bigger than
probed programmed mode"
Version 1.14 - 10 January 2007, by Pixel
- monitor-edid, monitor-get-edid:
o call monitor-get-edid-using-vbe with a range of ports, it stops on first
success (by default it tries port 0 then port 1) (fixes mdvbz#38799)
Version 1.13 - 8 January 2007, by Pixel
- monitor-get-edid:
o skip /proc/acpi/video/**/EDID files which can't be valid (mdvbz#34417)
- monitor-get-edid-using-vbe:
o minimal support for getting EDID from different DDC port
(experimental, need testing before using it in monitor-edid)
