> Please note that the NVIDIA 180.51 Linux graphics driver
> fixed an interaction problem that resulted in corruption of the internal 
> flatpanel's EDID on the Fujitsu Technology Solutions Celsius H270 notebook.
>
> Using earlier NVIDIA Linux drivers on the Celsius H270 notebook will result
> in a corrupt EDID, which will persist across reboots. If you encounter
> this problem on a Celsius H270 notebook, please contact Fujitsu Technology 
> Solutions technical support to correct the EDID.
>
> NVIDIA and Fujitsu recommend that all Linux Celsius H270 notebook
> users use NVIDIA Linux graphics drivers 180.51 or later, and 
> that anyone repackaging a 180.xx NVIDIA Linux graphics driver upgrade to 180.51.
>
> This interaction problem is also resolved in the 185.19 beta release.
> Thank you,
> Andy Ritger
