lsdisplay Maps the Screens Attached to a Linux Machine
A zero-dependency Linux utility that reports each display's connector, EDID details, resolution, position, rotation, and graphics-card relationship.
Why it surfaced
The motivating problem is wonderfully concrete: after reinstalling a workstation with six screens and three graphics cards, which connector is driving the 32-inch display in the lower-right corner? lsdisplay answers with a proportioned ASCII map, while also offering JSON output, EDID overrides, and support for X11 and several Wayland environments.
