ddc during xfree86 setup

[Stephen Ward]

Whenever I install ubuntu it seems to detect the video/monitor settings 
very well.  I can only assume it is using ddc to detect these.  I have 
played with some edid reader stuff but haven't found them to be very 
good - can someone tell me what ubuntu uses for this?
