Some hardware like my Samsung LCD TV does not respond correctly when probed about it's EDID. Every second ddcprobe reports a fail starting with the first call. The 2nd, 4th, 6th etc. call is OK. Of course this means that X gets the wrong EDID when booting (the first call) and tries driving an unsupported range causing the TV to issue a error and go into standby. :-( If you get edidfail, try the command again.

On my Ubuntu 9.04 system, however, I get the "mode:" output then: edid: edidfail And the program exits. Ideas? Looks like quite a useful command.
