I don't think that's anything to do with /sys/class/drm -- we do access that to check if any panels have the same EDID, but that only changes one specific fallback behaviour, rather than the device list.

What does xrandr say with the fglrx driver? Do get devices in gnome-control-center / colord-kde? What's the output of "colormgr get-devices"?

Thanks for the reply Richard.

After installation of colord-kde software colord seems to be almost working.
Can you explain why colord-kde is needed for colord to work properly?


There is a little Problem remaining (not related):

colormgr get-devices says:
