xresprobe

X Resolution Probe

xresprobe is a package that probes both laptop and DDC-compliant screens for their standard resolutions, and returns a specifically-formatted, easy-to-parse output. It contains the 'ddcprobe' package, which performs a DDC probe to the monitor; however, ddcprobe only works on i386 and powerpc. The laptop detection routines are, however, sufficiently generic to be useful to other architectures.
