[ddccontrol-users] Monitor not in database - Alienware AW3420DW

[Benjamin B. <be...@be...>]

My monitor doesn't seem to be in the database and ddccontrol suggested I
send this information to this mailing list. I have two monitors, but I
think the info below is for the Alienware AW3420DW connected via
DisplayPort (the other monitor is a "Monoprice 27in Zero-G 2560x1440 IPS
Display" connected with DVI).

=============================== WARNING ===============================
There is no support for your monitor in the database, but ddccontrol is
using a basic generic profile. Many controls will not be supported, and
some controls may not work as expected.
Please update ddccontrol-db, or, if you are already using the latest
version, please send the output of the following command to
ddc...@li...:

LANG= LC_ALL= ddccontrol -p -c -d

Thank you.
