Dear Talented Gurus,

Please help me. I need to read some monitor information, for example, gamma
ramp, color values, and whatever information the monitor have from EDID or
from the display driver?

Anybody knows how? and I hope to find source code which can show how to do
these on Windows XP...

Also, I am doing some interesting stuff. Do
you know how can I get the monitor's physical viewable size(in inches), and
how can I get phosphor type of the monitor(e.g. square LCD, or dot-shaped
CRT, and the layout of the RGBs)? By the way, I am curious about if I can
read projector's viewable size if it is connected to a projector?

Thanks a lot,

-Lucy
