[OpenICC] monitor/videocard identification

[Kai-Uwe Behrmann]

Hi,

I am unshure how to identify monitor / video card combinations.
The concrete questions would be :
Tell me about manufacturer, product, unique device number, additional
hardware settings (monitor brightness, gamma table in remote video card).


One way would be to let it outside the of the CMS; every application had
to take care about. Maybe X can answere identify this devices more easily
than CMS configurator (Oyranos). The concept would be to tell Oyranos
attributes and as answere would come an profile or identifier.

The other way around would bring Oyranos in the situation to handle
queries about devices for nearly all systems - networktransparent video as
well as remote printers or scanner devices + handling camera connections.
What does the list think. Is the last option not very error proune /
overkill ?
