read-edid 1.4.1-2.1 (powerpc binary) in ubuntu intrepid

 read-edid consists of two tools:
 .
 get-edid uses a VESA VBE 2 interrupt service routine request to read a
 128 byte EDID version 1 structure from your graphics card, which retrieves
 this information from the monitor via the Data Display Channel (DDC).
 .
 parse-edid parses this data structure and outputs data suitable for
 inclusion into the XFree86 or X.org configuration file.
 .
 get-edid uses architecture-specific methods for querying the video hardware
 (real-mode x86 instructions on i386, Open Firmware device tree parsing on
 PowerMac) and is therefore only available for i386 and powerpc architectures.
