My point is, if you parse displayid and edid into different structures and APIs, what will the code bases using the library end up looking like? Not pretty? Implementing the same conditionals all over the place? Anyway. I feel like I'm derailing this a bit, and I really don't want that to happen. I think DisplayID is a consideration that should not be forgotten, but it's probably not the first priority here. BR, Jani. -- Jani Nikula, Intel Open Source Graphics Center
