Checkout github pull requests locally

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = [email protected]:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

EDID decoding on the Mac, to find out what resolutions and rates the Mac is seeing reported.
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/edid-decode/plain/edid-decode.c
compile with:
gcc edid-decode.c -o edid-decode
get EDID from IORegistryExplorer (mine, an old 24" Apple Cinema Display, is attached).
Convert to binary with this command:
ruby -e 'File.open("edid", "wb").write(File.read("edid.txt").split.map { |s| ("0x"+s).to_i(16) }.inject("", "<<"))'
