+config BR2_PACKAGE_READ_EDID
+	bool "read-edid"

read-edid can only run on x86 PCs and PowerPC Macs, so it should depend on 
(BR2_i386 || BR2_x86_64 || BR2_powerpc).

+	help
+	  Read-edid is a pair of tools (originally by John Fremlin) for reading the EDID 
+	  from a monitor.  It should work with most monitors made since 1996 (except for 
+	  newer ones with 256-byte EDID's - WiP),  assuming the video card supports  the 
+	  standard read commands (most do).  Read-edid is a set of two tools - get-edid, 
+	  which gets  the raw edid  information from the monitor,  and parse-edid, which 
+	  turns the raw binary information into an XF86Config-compatible monitor section.
