When using ATI's proprietary driver fglrx, colord can't detect connected monitors. In order to have 10 bit per color video output, there is no choice but fglrx driver. Unlike xrandr 1.3 and oyranos-monitor colord is unable to retrieve the EDID.

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. > In order to have 10 bit per color video output, there is no choice but fglrx > driver.

What's the output of "colormgr get-devices"?

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: ...
