[ddccontrol-users] ddccontrol-db: Unsupported monitor 'Philips 220X'.

[Felix B. <lin...@gm...>]

Dear `ddccontrol`-people,

launching `gddccontrol`, I was prompted with

> There is no support for your monitor in the database, but ddccontrol

> Please update ddccontrol-db, or, if you are already using the latest

I have installed ddccontrol-db-git (Arch Linux AUR package), version is 20210113.rdd19622-1.

Monitor is an older Philips 220X (as reported by DDC) / 1220I (as printed outside).

Attached you find the output of `LANG= LC_ALL= ddccontrol -p -c -d`.

For reference, I have also attached the output of
* `LANG= LC_ALL= ddcutil detect`
* `LANG= LC_ALL= ddcutil capabilities`
* `LANG= LC_ALL= ddcutil vcpinfo`
* `LANG= LC_ALL= ddcutil environment`
* `LANG= LC_ALL= ddcutil probe`
* `LANG= LC_ALL= ddcutil interrogate`


I hope that helps you to add the monitor.

The monitor is controllable by Philips' `SmartControl`-software under windows, and also `ddcui` can control quite some features.
