Details

Description:
On my machines ddcxinfo isn't picking up the monitor information:

#ddcxinfo-arch -hsync -vsync
0-0
0-0

Additional info:
* package version(s)
0.8-1

* Suggested fix
I have compiled the knoppix version and that seems to work fine:

# ddcxinfo-arch -hsync -vsync
30-60
56-75

PKGBUILD
As the versions are rather different I changed the package name here, but for backward compatibility I changed the name of the binary to ddcxinfo-arch. I also included the ddcprobe utility as I thought it might be useful.
I'm afraid I don't have a 64-bit machine so I can't test it on that architecture.

can you try to reach the original author Elia Yehuda <z4ziggy@user-contributions.org> about this? it is upstream and he should have a look at this.

Any news from upstream?

Still a problem?
