Hi,
excuse my silly question but I don't really know what "standard kernel-provided
mode lists" exactly is. AFAIK EDID is supported only for LCD monitors. Will this
change make DisplayLink devices usable with old CRT monitors? If not why not? Is
it technically possible to make them work?

Thanks,
Alexander.
