Yes, EDID is available and I have available as well Nvidias hidden multi 
monitor EDID infos. A C API for accessing the ICC profile in X and a 
recommendation for harware vendors is included in the Oyranos project.

EDID:

ICC in X 0.2:

Oyranos:

Oyranos latest sources including a implementation of above stuff:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/oyranos

What is needed, are more applications to use Oyranos and bring it to a
mature state. I am currently working on support for and test on as many 
platforms I can reach. I would be glad to see Adobe using Oyranos API's 
and you have any benefit from it. We can discuss issues and work on 
making it flawless and enshuring its robustness.

I have delayed all other projects for a while to continue with Oyranos and 
create more Linux colour management basics.


kind regards
