VGA distributor hardware detection

Hi,

I am trying to find the monitor information attach to my system. To get the detail I have decoded the information available in edid file using edid-decode utility.

The file is available at /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/drm/card0/card0-VGA-1/edid

After decoding edid file I get the attached monitor details. Now I have situation where I am using VGA distributor which split the signal and I can connect multiple monitor through it.After doing this I am still getting the same monitor information in my edid file.Second monitor detail is missing from it. I try to restart the system and found that file empty edid file is generated if two monitor is connected.

I have concluded that after starting the system some utility is actually creating the edid file but I am not sure which one is doing this.

Can anyone let me know how to detect if multiple monitor is connected to my system through VGA distributor ? I am using Ubuntu 14.04 on HP machine.

Any help or suggestion is highly appreciated. Smilie

Thanks

IP-MONITOR(8)							       Linux							     IP-MONITOR(8)

NAME

       ip-monitor, rtmon - state monitoring

SYNOPSIS

       ip monitor [ all | LISTofOBJECTS ]

DESCRIPTION

       The ip utility can monitor the state of devices, addresses and routes continuously.  This option has a slightly different format.  Namely,
       the monitor command is the first in the command line and then the object list follows:

       ip monitor [ all | LISTofOBJECTS ]

       OBJECT-LIST is the list of object types that we want to monitor.  It may contain link, address and route.  If no file argument is given, ip
       opens RTNETLINK, listens on it and dumps state changes in the format described in previous sections.

       If a file name is given, it does not listen on RTNETLINK, but opens the file containing RTNETLINK messages saved in binary format and dumps
       them.  Such a history file can be generated with the rtmon utility.  This utility has a command line syntax similar to ip monitor.  Ide-
       ally, rtmon should be started before the first network configuration command is issued. F.e. if you insert:

	       rtmon file /var/log/rtmon.log

       in a startup script, you will be able to view the full history later.

       Certainly, it is possible to start rtmon at any time.  It prepends the history with the state snapshot dumped at the moment of starting.
