Thank you. It compiled without errors, but xorg still ends with a 
segfault, please see attachment.

I took an other monitor Samsung SyncMaster 2348BW (2048x1152) and 
connected it to both VGA as DVI but no EDID data was found by the DL-195 
device.

My working system is a HP Mini 5101 that has its own LCD (1366x768) and 
intel video controller. It is not possible for me to use the read-edid 
program to get the EDID info of the VGA screen, but I attached the intel 
xorg driver output that shows the EDID info of the Samsung SyncMaster 
940BW (1440x900) that I am using now.

I have the feeling the EDID problem is with the adaptor or driver.

What to do now? I run both the git versions of udlfb and xf-video-udlfb...

With kind regards,
