[Bug 333644] Re: [i915] no valid modes on LVDS / ASUS M6A notebook

[Geir Ove Myhr]

Thank you MichaL. This definitely tells us that the problem is that xorg
can't read the EDID information.

Do you still have a working copy of Hardy around? If you don't have it installed, you may download a LiveCD and try it. Hardy has two drivers that would work with this card, the older i810 and the newer intel. You can switch between the two by adding 
  Driver  "intel" 
or 
  Driver "i810"
in the Device section of xorg.conf (I'm not sure which one is the default).

The i810 driver is discontinued and therefore not available in newer ubuntu versions. It would be great to know if both drivers work in Hardy or only the i810. If the intel driver works, I would like you to also add
 Option "ModeDebug" "true"
to the Device section of your xorg.conf and upload the log file /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the same EDID related information as you just did for jaunty. Actually, if it only works with i810, it may be useful to have that information in that case as well.
