read-edid is a pair of tools (originally by John Fremlin) for reading the
EDID from a monitor. It should work with most monitors made since 1996,
assuming the video card supports the standard read commands (most do).
Two tools are provided: get-edid, which gets the raw EDID information from
the monitor, and parse-edid, which turns the raw binary information into a
xorg.conf-compatible monitor section (or xrandr-compatible modelines).
===> The following configuration options are available for read-edid-3.0.2:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
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
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

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.

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
