I do not know if the correct information is in  the detailed timing
blocks. That is why  I  have  sent my  logs  and ddcprobe and  xrandr
probes  to you programmers to decipher. However, if the driver now so
precariously depends on inconsistently formated hardware display information
yet the correct size information in cm is still there as you say. Why  don't
you adapt the driver software accordingly?
