xresprobe probably needs documentation, but it was only ever intended to be an external tool. Most of the reason why it wasn't in the xfree86/xorg package when I made it was because doing uploads of the monolith were very painful. If you can get away with doing DDC, then you're right, you don't need a driver. But if we can't, and need to call Xorg -probe and grep the logfile, then we obviously need a driver for that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
