xresprobe 0.4.24ubuntu8 (i386 binary) in ubuntu gutsy

 xresprobe is a package that probes both laptop and DDC-compliant screens for
 their standard resolutions, and returns a specifically-formatted, easy-to-parse
 output.
 .
 It contains the 'ddcprobe' package, which performs a DDC probe to the monitor;
 however, ddcprobe only works on i386 and powerpc. The laptop detection routines
 are, however, sufficiently generic to to be useful to other architectures.
