* Sun Jan 03 2010 Anssi Hannula <anssi@mandriva.org> 3.0-1mdv2010.1
+ Revision: 486009
- new version 3.0
- update description and summary, adapt buildrequires
- monitor-get-edid-using-vbe:
o remove all x86emu and vga softbootloader code, and always use the
LRMI interface which was previously the backup one on 32-bit x86;
libx86 is now used instead of liblrmi, allowing the use of LRMI
interface on non-x86 hosts as well (fixes Mandriva bug #53866, which
was caused by a bug in the removed code)
o fix the retrieval of VBE vendor strings when using the LRMI interface
o retrieve up to 4 EDID extension blocks
o add --skip-vbe-check for skipping call for VBE info; useful if
calling the program multiple times for different ports
o on failure, return exit status 2 if successful VBE calls were made
o never retry in console mode if the card reports that the port does
not support DDC (usually this means that the port has no display
devices connected)
o add basic 15 sec timeout (exit status 3), with --no-timeout for
disabling it
- monitor-parse-edid:
o print EDID version and the number of EDID extension blocks
o accept EDID data with multiple extension blocks
o add support for Detailed Timing Descriptors in CEA EDID Timing
Extension
o add support for Short Video Descriptor formats 1-64 (as defined by
EIA/CEA-861) in Video Data Blocks of CEA EDID Timing Extension
o set Interlace flag for ModeLines created for interlaced Detailed
Timings (and note it in the ModeLine comment)
o correctly parse some interlaced video timings if the Detailed Timing
Descriptor specifies field vertical parameters instead of the frame
parameters (at least Fujitsu-Siemens Myrica VQ32-1T testcase)
o ignore 1x1 modes (at least Nokia Valuegraph 447w testcase)
o add support for standard timing descriptors in monitor descriptors
o add comment "Monitor preferred modeline" only for the modeline the
monitor reports as preferred, and add "Monitor supported modeline"
comment for the other modelines
o allow null manufacturer name, instead check that EDID version is 1.x
or 2.x (see Mandriva bug #28857)
o output an error message when --monitorsdb fails (see Mandriva bugs
#28857 and #40609)
- monitor-edid, monitor-get-edid:
o do not get duplicate EDIDs if the same EDID is available via
multiple methods
o allow retrieval of multiple EDIDs via VBE
o get VBE info only once even when probing multiple ports
- monitor-edid:
o add --first support for stopping processing after one EDID has been
found
- monitor-probe-using-X:
o accept EDID data that contains extension blocks
- monitor-probe:
o do not probe using X if DMI probe was successful
* Sun Oct 18 2009 Anssi Hannula <anssi@mandriva.org> 2.5-1mdv2010.0
+ Revision: 458114
- 2.5
- monitor-probe-using-X:
o disable glx module to speed up X startup, especially if a proprietary
glx module is in use (fixes a timeout I observed on one system)
o use -sharevts for X server when plymouth is active, as VT switching
does not work at that point (fixes Mandriva bug #53736)
* Thu Oct 01 2009 Anssi Hannula <anssi@mandriva.org> 2.4-1mdv2010.0
+ Revision: 452160
- 2.4
- monitor-parse-edid:
o ignore the Manufacturer Specified Range Timing descriptor if the
first detailed timing descriptor appears to violate it (this probably
means that the descriptor is actually something else or in a
different format; this fixes Lenovo W500 detection, reported by Udo
Rader)
* Sun Sep 27 2009 Olivier Blin <oblin@mandriva.com> 2.3-2mdv2010.0
+ Revision: 450159
- do not build on arm & mips (from Arnaud Patard)
* Sun Sep 06 2009 Anssi Hannula <anssi@mandriva.org> 2.3-1mdv2010.0
+ Revision: 432076
- 2.3
- monitor-get-edid-using-vbe:
o update x86emu from xserver git (fixes issues at least with newish
NVIDIA cards)
o check if the port supports DDC before trying to read EDID data (this
should prevent problems when probing nonexistent ports on old cards)
- monitor-edid, monitor-get-edid:
o probe ports 0-2 by default instead of just 0-1 (many NVIDIA cards
seem to be using port 2 and the changes in monitor-get-edid-using-vbe
should make it safe for old problematic NVIDIA cards as well)
* Sat Aug 15 2009 Anssi Hannula <anssi@mandriva.org> 2.2-1mdv2010.0
+ Revision: 416701
- 2.2:
- monitor-edid, monitor-get-edid:
o support getting EDID from kernel DRM when kernel mode-setting is
enabled
- monitor-probe-using-X:
o use resolution from LVDS initial mode when X reports that it is exact,
making it work with nouveau driver
- include NEWS
* Sat Mar 07 2009 Antoine Ginies <aginies@mandriva.com> 2.1-2mdv2009.1
+ Revision: 351610
- rebuild
* Mon Jul 07 2008 Pixel <pixel@mandriva.com> 2.1-1mdv2009.0
+ Revision: 232566
- release 2.1:
- monitor-parse-edid:
o compute and display the "dpi" of the preferred modelines
o handle parsing of EDIDs found in "xrandr --prop" or Xorg.log
- monitor-get-edid-using-vbe:
o fix checking the current vt
o instead of checking vt >= 7 to know if X is running,
check wether $DISPLAY is set
- license is now GPLv3+
- remove internal lrmi.c, build with external liblrmi instead
