HW-probe as the collector of EDIDs to complete edid.tv repository #13

Open lvc opened 6 years ago

lvc commented 6 years ago

Hi,

There is a new Linux-Hardware.org project for collecting hardware info of Linux-powered computers. The basic hw-probe tool collects EDIDs of all connected monitors among other things. All EDIDs are uploaded to the following github repository: https://github.com/linuxhw/EDID

Currently the repository contains EDIDs for 8879 monitors collected since 2014.

The tool may be considered as the alternative for EDID Grabber (by inviting people to make probes by hw-probe). The tool is packaged for Arch, ROSA, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Debian and Mint.

The license of the repository is CC-BY-4.0, so data may be easily reused to complete edid.tv repository.

Thanks.
