Just an FYI, EDID blocks have been part of CRT tech since the mid to
late 90s; it's the basis of plug play monitors.
IIRC, the EDID block is transported via DDC, which is essentially I2C
implemented on top of your VGA cable. I've

Contrary to the FUD I've heard, X works just fine, thank you, without an

After a recent thread, about udev developers wanting /usr on the same
partition as / (or else requiring initramfs), it was pretty obvious
that 90%+ of the users here strongly disliked the idea. I went around
asking on various lists if it was possible to run Gentoo without udev.
