Sorry, driver was the wrong word. However the radeon DDC code has been seriously overhauled since 4.2. I really think you should upgrade to 4.3 before going further. -- Dr. Andrew C.

i810 VBE problems - was Re: DDC Atoms Xinerama

I tried this, and got a response of XFree86_DDC_EDID1_RAWDATAAborted when trying on the i810. This occured with both setting the i810 as the first head, as well as the second. Any thoughts?
