Apparently they don't provide the current inxi version. New releases don't happen
according to any schedule, but have been averaging monthly over the past year or
two. Use the -U switch to upgrade. Edit or remove /etc/inxi.conf to disable the -U
disabler if necessary, or just get it from upstream:

Neither inxi on Slackware64 15.0 nor Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 like the
--vs option. What system are you using?
x86_64s mostly.

In inxi versions prior to current the version can be output only via -I.
Thanks for that info (I'm no inxi guru).
Unfortunately, inxi isn't
always so informative. For example, on an RPi 4, hooked up to a Sony
TV, I only get
TV's as a group aren't very good at providing complete and accurate EDID.
$ inxi -Gaz

OpenGL: renderer: V3D 4.2 v: 2.1 Mesa 19.3.2
which isn't all that informative.
Inxi's author doesn't get enough feedback from users of hardware he doesn't
have.
Inxi simply omits some information it can't get, reports N/A for other it can't
get. Use inxi --debug 22 to send him the data from yours for improving the tool.
