Hello ,

All is fine except i can't change resolution on my second monitor vga
,tv in fact, (reported as DVI-I-2 ) anymore with my 9400gt.


Now , i'm on :

linux-2.6.39-gentoo-r1
xorg-server-1.10.2
xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.16_pre20110323
libdrm-2.4.25

Errors in dmesg  are:

nouveau 0000:02:00.0: DVI-I-2: Ignoring invalid EDID block 1.

whatever i valid with xrandr is not really do on my tv
although xrandr say it's good , my tv always report 1202x670 50hz

I tried with and without xorg.conf

My last kernel working is linux-2.6.36-gentoo-r6.



If, i tweak drm_edid.c from kernel-2.6.39-gentoo-r1 like this:

--- drm_edid.c    2011-06-10 22:37:36.605848000 +0200

                   block + (valid_extensions + 1) * EDID_LENGTH,
                   j, EDID_LENGTH))
                 goto out;
-            if (drm_edid_block_valid(block + (valid_extensions + 1) *
EDID_LENGTH)) {
+            if (drm_edid_block_valid(block + (valid_extensions + 0) *
EDID_LENGTH)) {
                 valid_extensions++;
                 break;
             }

  that work good  like before but i'm not sure that is safe.
