Description
I am forwarding the following bug from a Ubuntu reporter: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/211098
The user has a Gateway EV910 monitor (edid "name" gwy232a) which can be DDC probed properly but produces EDID that both read-edid and xorg fail to understand:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13079404/ddcprobe.txt http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13079429/edid.txt http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13079409/Xorg.0.log
From the read-edid output, it sounds like the monitor has some extended data in it?
...
Call failed
The EDID data should not be trusted as the VBE call failed EDID claims 32 more blocks left
Xorg's output follows:
