Hi Aaaron,

it seems to fail on my machine (having a lcd monitor):

backes@eule [backes]: ddcprobe

Monitor autoprobe results
Monitor autoprobe failed.

Regards

When I execute ddcprobe as a user, I get those results.

When ddcprobe is executed as root,

[root@N7KZZ ~]# ddcprobe

Videocard DDC probe results
Description:  ATI Technologies Inc. V350
Memory (MB):  16

Monitor DDC probe results
ID: DET4001
Name: L19GBN
Horizontal Sync (kHZ): 24-83
Vertical Sync (HZ)  : 55-76
Width (mm): 380
Height(mm): 300


Looks like a permissions problem for ddcprobe.

Right. Getting correct results as root too.

Regards

HTH

Mike
