Does anyone know how other vendors handle the EDID/DDC
info? Do other cards use I2C?
DDC2 uses I2C. There's aready a module that reads EDID via DDC2 in
lm_sensors. It does require a working i2c adapter driver for the graphics
card. matroxfb has the i2c driver included and lm_sensors has a driver for
voodoo3. Not sure about other cards but maybe that katos driver has
something for ATI cards...

In DDC1 mode the monitor transmits the EDID continuously with vsync acting
as the clock. I don't think that any driver supports DDC1.
