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.

I've just uploaded a new driver.

Try that.

Any news on this ?

Fixed in CVS. Closing.

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

when attempting to CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE out of X -xf86config as well as when
getting out of startx. After tonight will no have access to the system for
about a week

So what is my next course of action here?

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