Fedora and the horrible EDID checksum issue with various video cards

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi guys, got a question I hope someone can answer pretty quickly. I've been using kubuntu on various slower systems the last couple of years, but since Canonical is dropping KDE I want to shift them all back to Fedora. I've noticed that F16 flies on hardware that F12 just killed so I'm willing to give it a shot.

My question is this: I've had an issue with newer ubuntu kernels (3.0.14,.15 and .16 specifically) that just implode on my video card with

[drm:drm_edid_block_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 128

repeatedly, pegging my proc and rendering the system unusable. Has the 3.1+ kernels addressed this issue? Is it still hanging out there? What exactly is the status of this in the Fedora realm?

Right now, I have a system I can use (with the 0.13 kernel) but I don't want to upgrade if it leaves me with an unusable system.
