I'll take a look. Thanks for the pointer.

I agree that using DDC makes the most sense at config time, whether
in the initial configuration or for reconfiguration. I'd like DDC to
be able to detect and configure my monitor - when I installed Red
Hat 7.{0,2,3}, for example, it was able properly to detect my monitor's
relevant sttings. Perhaps this was some feature of the Red Hat
installer, but I seem to recall being able to do "X -configure" and
get the same useful DDC output.
This isn't keeping me up at night, though. Rather, it's a mild
annoyance.
