Does anyone know of any tool for probing monitor hardware for *BSD? I found ddcprobe which is a part of kudzu (and anaconda and others) for Linux, but it has Linux-specific code for DPMI-like functions. It also appears to have incompatible vm86.h. I'd like to find some tool or code that can report the Manufacturer, Monitor name, and/or EISA ID of detected hardware. Also, it would be nice to have a tool that can output the horizontal sync and vertical refresh ranges supported by the monitor. (I don't know if this is possible, but it would be nice to get information from the monitor about the suggested or optimum video modes to use first, like 1024x768.) It appears that "XFree86 -configure" can report some of this, but I was wondering if there is some standalone tool to do the same. Then I will use that to configure the XF86Config VertRefresh and HorizSync using the MonitorsDB (from Linux "hwdata" or other packages) database information. Also, I think "XFree86 -configure" can detect (or figure out?) the best ranges for XF86Config VertRefresh and HorizSync. But it appears that the MonitorsDB is more comprehensive for defining this. Maybe I'll just get the information from "XFree86 -configure" and compare with the MonitorsDB and update the new XF86Config as needed. Any comments? Please carbon-copy me on replies.
