What a nice bug number.. ;) Thank you very much for the information. Yes, after asking here and there, I become aware the whole thing is due to missing DDC EDID support in vgabios (but it does not prevent windows from working correctly, so something apparently is missing on the linux side too). The problem is that i'm not sure anymore this is the right route. These changes are too late for wheezy. For wheezy+1, we'll most likely drop vgabios completely, since seabios now includes its own implementation which works quite well. it lacks this DDC information too, but I guess for wheezy+1 time it will be implemented. > There are series of patches on upstream BTS. > A patch here is one to merge these into single patch. > > You can review my work on github.com: > https://github.com/miurahr/vgabios Where did you got the upstream git repository from?
