freebsd-ports/sysutils/read-edid/pkg-message
Alexey Dokuchaev 73966541c1 Add a port of read-edid utility, a pair of tools for reading the EDID from
a monitor.  It is mostly useful to read LCD matrix manufacturer and model.

WWW: http://www.polypux.org/projects/read-edid/

NB: TIMESTAMP line in distinfo should read as follows, but has to stay in
its current form due to a bug in the hook script:
TIMESTAMP (read-edid-3.0.2.tar.gz) = 1430271430

FreeBSD has mapping at zero address feature turned off since 8.0-RC2:
http://security.freebsd.org/advisories/FreeBSD-EN-09:05.null.asc
This is required to read EDID data via classical VBE interface (to avoid
"mmap /dev/mem: Invalid argument" message from libx86). To temporarily
disable this protection, issue the following command:
# sysctl security.bsd.map_at_zero=1
To return to secure state:
# sysctl security.bsd.map_at_zero=0
