My monitor does not /have/ an EDID, so it /cannot/ be detected, but it is perfectly able to show 1280x1024, and openchrome is able to provide that mode when it is told to generate it and that a monitor is there. What you are proposing is to /willingly/ cripple devices that can work flawlessly if you allow users to provide the data that the driver can't detect. It is not a "limp mode", it is a "drive-blind mode" -- trust the user, give him the wheel, and the clutch, and the accelerator.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
