[Bug 657509] [NEW] DRM: Invalid EDID Checksum - External Monitor DVI -D not recognized by Kernel / Intel Graphisc Driver

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Upon boot. I get an error that prevents the kernel from recognizing the external monitor through DVI-D connection:
DRM: Invalid EDID checksum, remainder is 130.

Only VGA mode works fine.

The monitor is : DELL ST2310 and it is fully recognized in Windows (Xp,
Vista and 7)  through DVI-D, HDMI and VGA.

I tested with OpenSUSE, Fedora 13, Knoppix, Mandriva. Same problem!
Invalid EDID.

I guess it is a bug in the Linux Kernel (DRM) and has something to do
with Intel Graphics driver.

I have an INTEL GMX945 Graphics integrated card with VGA and DVI-D
ports.

Using : Ubuntu 10.10.

If you need me to apply several tests! Please feel free to ask!
