Hello folks,
I was wondering whether some of you could have any ideas about how
to identify a certain monitor plugged into my card's secondary output at
boot time (before X starts) automatically.
The situation is the following: I have a laptop (Samsung R65) with an
nVdidia GeForce Go 7400 in it. I like dual head setups and I have one at
home and two at work, one of which is dedicated to the laptop. The
problem is however, that at work the external CRT is _left of_ my laptop,
and at home the external (DFP) is _right of_ my laptop. So I would love
to be able to manipulate xorg.conf with a script at boot time. It would
just be very - convenient ;-). But to do this I would have to aquire
information about the monitor [1]. Is there any way to get the EDID or
something similar out of the nvidia module or any other program /before/
starting X?
Thanks in advance,
Aleks
ad 1: I could also misuse information about the network connection or
the like but then again, I don't always plug in/need the second monitor...
