$ sudo get-edid | parse-edid This is read-edid version 3.0.1. Prepare for some fun. Attempting to use i2c interface Looks like no busses have an EDID. Sorry! Attempting to use the classical VBE interface Performing real mode VBE call Interrupt 0x10 ax=0x4f00 bx=0x0 cx=0x0 Function supported Call successful VBE version 300 VBE string at 0x11100 "Intel(R) Sandybridge/Ivybridge Graphics Chipset Accelerated VGA BIOS" VBE/DDC service about to be called Report DDC capabilities Performing real mode VBE call Interrupt 0x10 ax=0x4f15 bx=0x0 cx=0x0 Function supported Call successful Monitor and video card combination does not support DDC1 transfers Monitor and video card combination supports DDC2 transfers 0 seconds per 128 byte EDID block transfer Screen is not blanked during DDC transfer Reading next EDID block VBE/DDC service about to be called Read EDID Performing real mode VBE call Interrupt 0x10 ax=0x4f15 bx=0x1 cx=0x0 Function supported Call successful EDID claims 1 more blocks left *********** Something special has happened! This happens a lot with TV's, and other devices with extension blocks. If you have a TV, don't bother. Otherwise, please contact the author, Matthew Kern E-mail: pyrophobicman@gmail.com Please include full output from this program (especially that to stderr) Reading next EDID block VBE/DDC service about to be called Read EDID Performing real mode VBE call Interrupt 0x10 ax=0x4f15 bx=0x1 cx=0x0 Function supported Call successful EDID claims 1 more blocks left EDID blocks left is wrong. Your EDID is probably invalid. Looks like VBE was successful. Have a good day.
