read-edid (read EDID information from a video monitor)
read-edid is a pair of tools (originally by John Fremlin) for reading the
EDID from a monitor. It should work with most monitors made since 1996
(except for newer ones with 256-byte EDID's - WiP), assuming the video
card supports the standard read commands (most do).read-edid is a set
of two tools - get-edid, which gets the raw edid information from the
monitor, and parse-edid, which turns the raw binary information into an
XF86Config-compatible monitor section.

read-edid is a set of two tools: get-edid, which gets the raw edid
information from the monitor, and parse-edid, which turns the raw binary
information into an xorg.conf-compatible Monitor section.
Modern Linux kernels also make the EDID data available in
/sys/class/drm/card*-*/edid, so the get-edid command might not be needed.
See also system/edid-decode, which gives more detail than parse-edid,
but doesn't format its output as an xorg.conf-compatible snippet.
