[opensuse-factory] display monitors query for opensuse 11.2
Hello, Does anyone know where I can see the list of display monitors yast picks up and detects in opensuse 11.2. I want to have a look at the ones supported, because the existing monitor needs replacing. Also have you got a script to output the result in the following format: <Monitor make> <monitor model detail> At least the output is sortable Thanks for your help, Glenn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Hi, Yast / Sax use the file /usr/share/sax/api/data/cdb/Monitors to catch information and on top of that DDC is used to query the monitor itself. DDC is used with all modern monitors and I have not come across any recent screen that I could not just plug and use. One 'issue' are color profiles, as there is no way (yet) to import color definition files provided by a vendor. (work is happening here: http://projects.gnome.org/gnome-color-manager/ ) Hope this helps you a little.
