(but not in the kernel) Our experience agrees with you that the EEDID stuff is not well used.=20 We make some LCD driver products and I'm pretty sure we didn't include the EEDID info. I gave the specs a quick look and I don't see anything in (thats obvious) there that would allow you to see if the panel is 666 or 888. The specs are somewhat less than clear in several cases so I'll be happy to review any sections closer if you think one might be a possibility. -- Richard A.
