Description Remington L 2005-03-17 19:51:24 UTC

After the recommendation of 2712 I am still recieving an error, even worse than
the original problem. With both stock i810 driver and the modified driver I recieve:
(II) I810(0): I2C bus "DDC" initialized.
(II) I810(0): VESA VBE DDC supported
(II) I810(0): VESA VBE DDC Level 2
(II) I810(0): VESA VBE DDC transfer in appr. 1 sec.
(II) I810(0): VESA VBE DDC read failed
(WW) I810(0): BIOS EDID failed.

   *** If unresolved symbols were reported above, they might not
   *** be the reason for the server aborting.

CORRECTION

Here it is, with new driver as of 10 minutes ago

Comment 7 Alan Hourihane 2005-03-20 16:00:37 UTC

I've just uploaded a new driver.

Try that.

Comment 8 Alan Hourihane 2005-03-21 13:23:05 UTC

Any news on this ?

Comment 9 Alan Hourihane 2005-03-21 13:47:15 UTC

Fixed in CVS. Closing.

Comment 10 Remington L 2005-03-22 16:57:12 UTC

This patch does not work, need to update status. Driver crashes entire system.
Will attach Xorg.log soon

getting out of startx. After tonight will no have access to the system for
about a week

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 643 ***

Comment 13 Remington L 2005-03-23 19:11:26 UTC

So what is my next course of action here?

Comment 14 Alan Hourihane 2005-03-24 02:56:24 UTC

You could use the external programs mentioned in bug 643 with the stock 6.8.2
driver.
