The get-edid is used to get the edid information by architecture dependent method, and the upstream version only supports x86. (Maybe this tool also could work on amd64 machines. I am not so sure.) But the edid information also could be gotten by: cat /proc/acpi/video/VID/CRT0/EDID > edid.info if the kernel supports. The parse-edid is used to parse the edid information and it is useful when you could get the edid information by other methods except by get-edid.
So, the get-edid is only available in x86 arch, and the parse-edid is available to any arch. -- LIU Qi liuq...@gmail.com li...@printk.org PGP Key fingerprint: A8C0 860C D8A9 D6FC 551F 6E2C A4AB 763B 00EC 886F -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
