I switched to the nvidia driver to see what is displayed for the same files. They are however not to be found. Nvidia must have adifferent way of accessing the monitor information. > Strange that this succeeds if nvidia is loaded and fails otherwise. > > Regards, > Sven Depends I guess on the interaction between the driver and monitor and the get-edid command. could be some context that are not properly setup for the command to succed. Don't know the relationship between monitor information and the kernel and the driver. Is it something the driver has todo and provide to the kernel? /david -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
