[ddccontrol-users] DELL 2405PFW support

[Alexander M. <ale...@th...>]

I have created what I think is a support file for the Dell 2405FPW
(DELA010) lcd screen over DVI against the CVS stuff.

Based on the output of LANG=3D LC_ALL=3D ddccontrol -p -c -d

^^^^^^^^^

and the Dell monitors already in the database, I created this (DELA010.xml)=
:

vvvvvvvvv

<?xml version=3D"1.0"?>

</monitor>

^^^^^^^^^

It seems to work (with the command-line tool, I couldn't get the GUI
to compile---probably a config issue at my end).

Thanks!
