I’m not worried much about X11; it’s possible to get the whole EDID via xrandr —-props, which presumably either uses xrandr xcb API or reads it from /sys. What about getting the output connector name on OS X? If you connect two monitors of the same model, the name won’t be unique there, whereas at least the output name is unique on X11. _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
