The only problem right now is how do you pass the monitor info to the driver? The best way is to parse the EDID block and use I2C/DDC. Personally, I think passing the monitor info as a boot/module option is the simplest and safest method.Through sysfs? echo MY_MONITOR_LIMITS > /proc/...? Since ioctls are considered evil these days, changing the resolution etc. could work in a similar way as well.
Can you do this with sysfs? This is what I have been waiting for!!! The proc thing is don't care for tho. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com
