There was dispute about whether the mga driver should use the VBE code to interrogation, or do it itself, and the current state is that both methods are implemented (in MGAProbeDDC(..) and MGAdoDDC(...)) and one is used by X -configure and the other in normal use. There are people who claim that one method upsets their system, while others claim that the other method doesn't work for them. I was involved in the orginal, direct, implementation, before the VBE method was added (when the mga driver was the only one to support DDC). Since both methods work for me on my original Millennium I've not had any incentive to persue that matter. Inertia seems to have left the current state for a couple of years. -- Dr. Andrew C.
