[Pkg-fglrx-devel] Bug#530544: Failed to get EDID for display

[Heikki Kantola]

Package: fglrx-driver
Version: 1:9-8-1
Severity: normal


Since 9-7 release I have been hit by this (or some related) bug. I run
Sapphire Radeon HD 4670 with a dual head setup and now on the primary
head (DVI output) fglrx-driver fails to get EDID information (even if I
disable EDID usage in xorg.conf!) and now uses only awful low resolutions
(1024x768 is such on a 24" monitor capable of 1920x1200), which makes
using this screen quite miserable. Surprisingly secondary head (HDMI
output) uses the correct resolution, but I guess it might be the driver 
uses only "Mode2"-xorg.conf-option to determine the resolution to be used 
for this display.
