monitor_info seems unused still by any accelerant.
IIRC, as long as the driver can provide EDID information, the app_server will
translate that
automatically -- only if the driver cannot provide EDID, it'll need to fill out
the monitor_info
itself.
It's been some time, though :-)
I guess we could repurpose monitor_info for "attachment information" like
positioning (left of center, right of center, etc) and port information
(hdmi,dvi,etc)
It seems like a nice new "Haiku only (aka non-Be)" entry point for a pipeline
of communication
between the accelerants and the BScreen.
