This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled drm/i915: prefer VBT modes for SVDO-LVDS over EDID to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.3. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 795de6db7c0397315b083c6dbf57cecd2c6ad098 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch> Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2013 09:47:58 +0200 Subject: drm/i915: prefer VBT modes for SVDO-LVDS over EDID commit c3456fb3e4712d0448592af3c5d644c9472cd3c1 upstream. In commit 53d3b4d7778daf15900867336c85d3f8dd70600c Author: Egbert Eich <eich@suse.de> Date: Tue Jun 4 17:13:21 2013 +0200 drm/i915/sdvo: Use &intel_sdvo->ddc instead of intel_sdvo->i2c for DDC Egbert Eich fixed a long-standing bug where we simply used a non-working i2c controller to read the EDID for SDVO-LVDS panels. Unfortunately some machines seem to not be able to cope with the mode provided in the EDID. Specifically they seem to not be able to cope with a 4x pixel mutliplier instead of a 2x one, which seems to have been worked around by slightly changing the panels native mode in the VBT so that the dotclock is just barely above 50MHz. Since it took forever to notice the breakage it's fairly safe to assume that at least for SDVO-LVDS panels the VBT contains fairly sane data. So just switch around the order and use VBT modes first. v2: Also add EDID modes just in case, and spell Egbert correctly. v3: Elaborate a bit more about what's going on on Chris' machine.
