Package: xresprobe

Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
xresprobe (using /usr/share/xresprobe/ddcprobe.sh) misdetects
my lcd monitor as a crt.
In order to find out if a monitor is an lcd or a crt, ddcprobe.sh
tries to find "^input: digital" in /usr/sbin/ddcpobe output.
however, when run on my monitor, dccprobe returns
'input: separate sync, composite sync, digital signal.'
The following patchlet to /usr/share/xresprobe/ddcprobe.sh
corrects this problem by changing the regex used.
