+ <longdescription>
+ ddcutil primarily uses DDC/CI (Display Data Channel Command Interface)
+ to communicate with monitors implementing MCCS (Monitor Control Command
+ Set) over I2C. Normally, the video driver for the monitor exposes the
+ I2C channel as devices named /dev/i2c-n. Alternatively, there is initial
+ support for monitors (such as Apple displays) that implement MCCS using
+ a USB connection.
+ </longdescription>
+ <use>
+ <flag name="user-permissions">
+ Adds a udev rules to allow non-root users in the i2c group to
+ access the /dev/i2c-* devices. If usb-monitor is selected, users
+ will need to be added to the video group to access the USB monitor.
+ Otherwise, only root will be able to use ddcutil.
+ </flag>
+ <flag name="usb-monitor">
+ Adds support for monitors attached via USB.
