standalone ddcprobe tool for *BSD?

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.

Thank you,
