Jeepers, I can't believe that even re-reading the past LKML posts (even those!) I couldn't find the EDID info and how we had gotten them. I guess I need stronger glasses. Wonder why Luca's proposed patch makes the EDID undetectable, now, and why can't it be retrieved at a later time via i2c.

If you can confirm that this is still the same hardware, > I'll send you a test patch Yes, it's the same hardware. I can try the patch, with or without Luca's. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
