Hi Matt

My "changes" where to create a custom Vendor for Belinea like you did for
Dell, remove the python function around the monitor name printout (was
nulling monitor names), and forcing "; 1" since as I read the inf file all
Belinea monitors do DPMS but the app was not finding it.

Appart from the custom Belinea vendor, everything else are ugly brutal
hacks you don't want in the app (like I said I don't know python at all;)
)

I filtered the result in sed to remove quotes around monitor names, and
sorted by monitor name.

And I filtered manually the output to simplify monitor names. Belinea
often uses :

Belinea foo / Art. # bar as monitor name

which is ok when you have several foo variants with different bar numbers
but heavy on the user when there is only one Belinea foo in existence.

The result is attached there:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198087

If you or someone else with more python foo than me can update the app to
generate this list it will certainly be easier to maintain in the future.
Belinea has release an awful lot of monitor variants - don't think it will
be possible to track the list by hand.
