But, of course, it does - that is why I am perplexed.
edid recognises it immediately - there are almost no monitors in current use
that do not support ddc, and the dell certainly does.
Somewhere, some information is failing to go somewhere.

So the question is why, when edid knows what the monitor is, and every other
distro I try certainly does, where the script is not pulling down the id.
