Package: xresprobe Version: 0.4.18-1 Severity: normal
Hi! I just needed to configure an unknown monitor and tried to use your tool "xresprobe". Since it missed any manpage or any other documentation, I just called it and got asked to specify a driver. Didn't knowing how to do this, I called it with the --help parameter. Just to see, that it worked like expected in the first place: ===== vinyamar:~# xresprobe Driver must be specified. vinyamar:~# xresprobe --help id: COLOR LCD res: 1024x768 freq: disptype: lcd/lvds ===== Actually, it seems to me, that it doestn't really matter what paramter to add on the cmommandline, as long as something is adder after it: ===== vinyamar:~# xresprobe foo id: COLOR LCD res: 1024x768 freq: disptype: lcd/lvds vinyamar:~# xresprobe this-parameter-doesnt-exist id: COLOR LCD res: 1024x768 freq: disptype: lcd/lvds vinyamar:~# xresprobe whatsthatdrivermustbespeciedstuff id: COLOR LCD res: 1024x768 freq: disptype: lcd/lvds vinyamar:~# ===== Uhm... interessting. Why does it ask me to supply a driver if it's nowhere documented how to do so? And Why does it it do so for the first place, if it works without?
