Hi all,
Hi Ladislav,
I have reimplemented monitor detection in hwinfo to read the data from /sys instead of running BIOS emulation and reading the data from the VESA BIOS. This should work better and should be more reliable.
Cool.
The new functionality requires kernel mode setting (KMS) to be active (which by default is), when KMS is not active the old BIOS emulation is still used.
I have tested it on few machines and for me it works better than the old implementation (e.g. in a dual head setup with two monitors the old code detected just one monitor, with the new code it correctly detects both monitors). However, it would be nice to test it on a broader range of hardware to find possible regressions.
Well done! I've tried in my laptop and it worked just fine. Anyway, I'm attaching the monitor1.log, monitor2.log and also a file containing diferences for further reference. [..]
Of course, reporting success or improvements here is also appreciated ;-)
Thank you a lot for testing!!
