I saw that 0.4.1 works with Fedora Core 4 and AFAIK it has new GCC so
it should be enough. Am I wrong?

Also, you might try to use CVS snapshots to get it in for testing too,
if the released version isn't enough for us.

Imho there should be an X implementation of this:
* driver side should be possible entirely from within the ddc module: 
the ddc module could probe and initialise the ddci slave address for the 
driver when handed the I2C bus for ddc and could handle everything else 
from there.
* most work will be in the actual utility and the backend used for that.
But then, mode related control is very much unchartered territory for X.

Fabrice,

The current ITP is not frozen :-)

I have a package ready at the moment.  However, it only cleanly builds
with the version of gcc in Sarge.  I have been assured by upstream that
a new release is forthcoming which fixes the build issues with gcc 4.x.
 Once it is out, the package will be updated and uploaded.

Hi Roberto.

Thanks a lot for the quick answer and your work on this package.

adding ddccontrol to debian

2006-05-30 Thread Fabrice Lorrain

Hi,

In the last 5 months, I encountered twice LCD flat screens without 
hardware control or with half functionnal hardware control.


The proper way to configure those screens was with software through the 
ddc protocol. The only software I'm aware of working under linux is 
ddccontrol [1] which is not in sid yet.


Bored DD's might take some pleasure to warm the current frozen ITP [2].
