LCD information?

[geos]

hello,

there is plenty of software for windows that gives the model of the LCD used in laptop. for example HWINFO32 presents that my T61p has LTN154U2-L05 Samsung screen.

is there similar application under Linux (Ubuntu preffered)?

thank you,

Hello,
On my machine running Ubuntu 12.04, I can find out this information by taking a look at the following log: /var/log/Xorg.0.log

This shows my LCD information as follows:

Code: Select all

[     4.885] (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "AUO", prod id 8510

There is additional information around that including the EDID in hex. My machine is also attached to an external monitor presently (via Mini Dock Plus series 3) and it shows that monitor as:

Code: Select all

[     5.172] (II) intel(0): Manufacturer: HWP  Model: 2869  Serial#: 1XXXXXXXX
[     5.172] (II) intel(0): Year: 2010  Week: 26
[     5.172] (II) intel(0): EDID Version: 1.4
[     5.172] (II) intel(0): Digital Display Input
[     5.172] (II) intel(0): 8 bits per channel
[     5.172] (II) intel(0): Digital interface is DisplayPort

...

[     5.172] (II) intel(0): Monitor name: HP ZR24w
[     5.172] (II) intel(0): Serial No: XXXXXXXXXXX

And there is more information available around that as well. I don't know of a nice graphical program to present this information, but maybe someone else here does...

thanks! indeed. I looked at the log and the information is there.
but for some unknown reason LTN154U2-L05 was reported correctly and LG Phillips LCD was not.

thank you,
