          This enables access to the EDID transferred from the firmware.
 	 On the i386, this is from the Video BIOS. Enable this if DDC/I2C
 	 transfers do not work for your driver and if you are using
 	 nvidiafb, i810fb or savagefb.
 
-	 If unsure, say N.
+	 In general, choosing Y for this option is safe.  If you 
+	 experience extremely long delays while booting before you get
+	 something on your display, try setting this to N.  Matrox cards in
+	 combination with certain motherboards and monitors are known to
+	 suffer from this problem.
