"A hardware-independent library for executing real-mode x86 code" and another description mentions "Provides an lrmi interface that works on x86, am64 and alpha" so.. I guess we can try it.

All sanity-check issues have been resolved

[Comment 6 Marek Szuba (RETIRED) 2021-05-07 16:00:28 UTC]

OK, so it would appear that we cannot keyword new read-edid on ppc and sparc because libx86 is not compatible with those arches. What about alpha? If the description of the Arch AUR package is anything to go by, that arch *should* be supported.

It would be nice to finally resolve this ticket.

[Comment 7 Marek Szuba (RETIRED) 2021-05-07 16:50:57 UTC]

Okay, DIVIDE BY CUCUMBER ERROR / REDO FROM START. The latest read-edid ebuild makes it possible to disable the VBE interface in get-edid, meaning no dependency on either libx86 or sys/io.h. Therefore:

 - ppc/sparc: please confirm that read-edid builds fine with USE=-vbe-mode

 - alpha: please test both variants

    x11-misc/read-edid: make get-edid VBE mode optional
    
    Not compatible with some previously supported arches, moreover according
    to upstream the new, i2c-based interface "tends to work much better and
    in many more cases than the old interface".
    
    While at it, switch to EAPI 7 and cmake.eclass.

Assuming no interest in this on the alpha side of things.
