Those are the ones you see under /sys/class/drm/, without the card0-
prefix.

E.g. on my system I have:

# ls /sys/class/drm/
card0  card0-DVI-I-1  card0-LVDS-1  card0-VGA-1  controlD64  version

Thus I have connectors "DVI-I-1", "LVDS-1" and "VGA-1" (note that your
HDMI connector might not be named HDMI-1, if you are not sure which one
it is, you can look at the files below (edid, enabled, status) which
should help your find the right connector).


In addition, if you rmmod i915 and modprobe it again connectors will get
increased suffix numbers. So don't expect them to remain the same if you
have multiple GPUs detected in random order or if you rebind them to
their driver. (though except during testing or for special systems you
don't have to worry about this)

It looks fine. You can also check the output with hexdump just to
make sure it looks sane.
If it's broken kernel will tell you that checksum does not match.

In any case the (successful) loading of edid should be visible in kernel
log.
