This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled udldrmfb: Fix EDID not working with monitors with EDID to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.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-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Herton ------ From 18e90a10911c4a3afdd1616a6918714ed8d506d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2013 12:08:56 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] udldrmfb: Fix EDID not working with monitors with EDID extension blocks commit c930812fe5ebe725760422c9c351d1f6fde1502d upstream. udldrmfb only reads the main EDID block, and if that advertises extensions the drm_edid code expects them to be present, and starts reading beyond the buffer udldrmfb passes it. Although it may be possible to read more EDID info with the udl we simpy don't know how, and even if trial and error gets it working on one device, that is no guarantee it will work on other revisions. So this patch does a simple fix in the form of patching the EDID info to report 0 extension blocks, this fixes udldrmfb only doing 1024x768 on monitors with EDID extension blocks.
