Well, grml-x currently does not use "get-edid | parse-edid" but uses just hwinfo and the mechanisms of X-server itself.
The main problem is: who can you trust? To give you an example how unreliable all the X-server stuff is take a look at my box:
# get-edid | parse-edid [...] The EDID data should not be trusted as the VBE call failed Error: output block unchanged parse-edid: IO error reading EDID
May I suggest that if "get-edid | parse-edid" can return valid results, use it as the first choice? I just run it and found that it is much meaningful them my current xorg.conf result, which uses screen[0] and device[0].
Yes, I will consider 'get-edid | parse-edid' for inclusion in the rewrite of grml-x.

Thanks.
