Question: Can EDID (for example) information be added to wl_output?
There was some discussion in !109 (merged) regarding providing a means to uniquely (and persistently) identify an output, but I don't know if there was any further work done.
Basically I'm interested in exposing either a serial number (or the entire EDID) so that applications can use this information to uniquely identify an output. The EDID is particularly useful as it can be used to extract extended display information from, for example, DRM (such as the specific display connections, Display Port information etc which is available under XRandR)
I know that the "KDE output device" protocol provides EDID information and wondered if there was any interest in adding it to wl_output.
Essentially my goal is to have this information available to a Gtk application running on Weston - I can of course fork my own copy of weston but am unsure of where to look to implement a protocol.
Any pointers appreciated - thanks.
