Description Christoph Brill (egore) (RESIGNED) 2008-01-17 15:06:29 UTC 
x11-misc/read-edid builds an works on ~sparc (tested on SunBlade 100)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 Ferris McCormick (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-17 20:42:49 UTC 
~sparc added.  I note, however, that this package claims to install a utility get-edid which actually collects monitor information.  For me, it does not.  Does it do so for you, and if not, what do you use the parse-edid program for?  (Yes, lm_sensors needs the package, but I am not sure what it can do with it.)
Comment 2 Christoph Brill (egore) (RESIGNED) 2008-01-18 11:03:07 UTC 
get-edid is not installed on amd64 either. Here's the output on an amd64:

cbrill@cb ~ $ qlist read-edid
/usr/sbin/parse-edid
/usr/share/doc/read-edid-1.4.1-r1/AUTHORS.bz2
/usr/share/doc/read-edid-1.4.1-r1/NEWS.bz2
/usr/share/doc/read-edid-1.4.1-r1/README.bz2
/usr/share/doc/read-edid-1.4.1-r1/LRMI.bz2
/usr/share/doc/read-edid-1.4.1-r1/ChangeLog.bz2

It is only installed on x86:

cbrill@fileserver ~ $ qlist read-edid
/usr/sbin/parse-edid
/usr/sbin/get-edid
/usr/share/doc/read-edid-1.4.1-r1/AUTHORS.bz2
/usr/share/doc/read-edid-1.4.1-r1/NEWS.bz2
/usr/share/doc/read-edid-1.4.1-r1/README.bz2
/usr/share/doc/read-edid-1.4.1-r1/LRMI.bz2
/usr/share/doc/read-edid-1.4.1-r1/ChangeLog.bz2

I'm not sure it is a problem. I only needed the dependency for lm_sensors.
