Yes, I noticed this, but just mentioned that I thought it backwards. You activate the special state by setting the pin low, which to me make it a prime candidate for using active-low (especially when the INT function of the pin is active-low, but that isn't really related). But of course, active-low or active-high ultimately depends on *what* it is that is active, so it will always be a matter of definition.

Interrupt or not does not seem to matter. And yes, my plan is to try to hook up a oscilloscope to the DDC bus, but it's a bit difficult since the HW designer didn't add any test points and covered the interesting part of the board with the CPU module. Sigh. And a microscope would be helpful, something which I don't have at this location. So, it might be a while before I can actually do it... >> Is edid reading know to work on 19988?

I don't think it's a problem with the atmel I2C driver. IIRC, the tda998x driver issues the command a initiate the EDID read, but that times out. So it appears to be the TDA19988 that fails to read the EDID over the DDC bus? Which brings me to the double problem with the scopes mentioned above...
