Hello folks, |
| 2 |

I was wondering whether some of you could have any ideas about how |
| 4 |
to identify a certain monitor plugged into my card's secondary output at |
| 5 |
boot time (before X starts) automatically. |

The situation is the following: I have a laptop (Samsung R65) with an |
| 8 |
nVdidia GeForce Go 7400 in it. I like dual head setups and I have one at |
| 9 |
home and two at work, one of which is dedicated to the laptop. The |
| 10 |
problem is however, that at work the external CRT is _left of_ my laptop, |
| 11 |
and at home the external (DFP) is _right of_ my laptop. So I would love |
| 12 |
to be able to manipulate xorg.conf with a script at boot time. It would |
| 13 |
just be very - convenient ;-). But to do this I would have to aquire |
| 14 |
information about the monitor [1]. Is there any way to get the EDID or |
| 15 |
something similar out of the nvidia module or any other program /before/ |
| 16 |
starting X? |
| 17 |
|

Thanks in advance, |

ad 1: I could also misuse information about the network connection or |
| 22 |
the like but then again, I don't always plug in/need the second monitor... |
