Fortunately, there is a cool new feature - Add Model which allows users to add a new monitor by using the Windows driver CD that comes with their monitor. This uses a script to parse the Windows *.inf file to get the hsync, vsync, edid, dpms, and other info to update the database locally.
Now THIS is cool. If it works properly they could start thinking about using this method to automate the installation of other devices. Stuff like USB Wireless Adapters, USB Webcams...
