All of the actual probing code is in kudzu. I'm not sure what the defined behavior for ddc probing with dual head is, though -- it's probably largely undefined :/
read-edid supports querying multiple monitors, so 'it' is defined. look at read-edid-1.4.1 and run the following: get-edid ddc.0 0 get-edid ddc.1 1 strings ddc.* Both monitors are supported. (lrmi -> int 10, ax=4f15, cx register gives 'controller#'). This looks like it is not supported in kudzu ( there is no way to specify monitor #2 in /usr/include/kudzu/ddc.h. Also, the /var/log/XFree.0.log reports ddc for both monitors with the nvidia proprietary drivers ( I haven't tried others). b\375
I've added support for multiple monitors on a local copy of the debian version of ddcprobe ( straight c -- no kudzu).
Brett -- that would be interesting to see (and it should then be easy enough to port into kudzu's copy)
Putting in NEEDINFO pending the patch.

[This is a mass update sent to many bugs that missed earlier such messages due to having their version set to a test version.] This bug was originally filed against a version of Fedora Core which is no longer supported, even for security updates. Many changes have occured since then. Please retest this bug against a still supported version. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier. This bug will be closed after a few weeks if no information is given indicating that the bug is still present in a supported release.
