Make sure we check VBE version before fiddling around with DDC. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1458 Opened: 2003-10-30 09:12 Last update: 2007-02-13 22:03 :( Signed-off-by: Zwane Mwaikambo <zwane@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxx> Cc: Tobias Hain <tobias.hain@xxxxxx> Cc: "H.
