Forget about EDID2 for now. No-one is actually shipping stuff that uses the extended EDID2 info blocks, since it was originally designed for the VESA PnD flat panel connectors, which flopped miserably. I have yet to see any device with EDID2 in it, and as such we have not yet written an EDID2 parser for our tools either ;-)
