           Summary: DDC Version 1.0 monitors won't auto configure
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: App/xorgconfig
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: neil.macphail at bigfoot.com


Monitor KTX Bridge BGA00 not configured correctly. KTX DDC is Version 1.0 EIDE
and only returns Supplier and Model Number and DDC version number with week and
year of manufacture. Xorg assumes 0 strings in 128 byte block read from monitor
are clock settings and refuses xorg.conf settings as out of the range read.
Windows uses monitor.inf files to look up clock settings using DDC V1.0 supplier
and Model number data as this cannot be read from the monitor. Suggest check
version number and then copy windows method or set "NoDDC" The problem was
definitely in grope and configuration as if I initialised using a Belinea
monitor I could replug to the KTX and all modes worked. Workaround was to set
"NoDDC" a parameter missing in the documentation.
