Can anyone here point me to some examples (preferrable including code) of how
to retrieve display information through DDC?

Since DDC calls happen in RTM, they are not supposed to be allowed in
Windows protected mode as I understand it. People say, it is necessary to
create a driver for this. I would need an example of how to do this, since I
am not exactly a driver expert ;-)

Any help would be much appreciated!
Best Regards,
Christian.

Hi Calvin,

the code, you are referring to actually reads out the EDID block stored by
Windows into the registry. I would like to read it out by myself.

Any hints?

I don't think Windows support this. All EDID-related stuff in Windows is
limited to a couple of calls to the video miniport driver.

Why? Do you not trust the display driver?
