[PATCH] Getting the EDID block for x86

[PATCH] Getting the EDID block for x86

[Antonino Daplas]

Hi Linus,

Attached is a diff against 2.5.66 which gets the EDID block via VBE/DDC
service.  This is done before switching to protected mode.

It's useful for video drivers to have some kind of information about the
primary display's operating limits and capability.  Please, kindly
apply.

Tony
