Another apparently harmless message.. But I find it quite curious. Especially that they seem pretty harmful in the case of http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25393
So my setup is nv35 with a 19' CRT screen connected to vga output. I get random occurrences of this message : [drm:edid_is_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 161 [drm:edid_is_valid] *ERROR* Raw EDID: But I do not get any of the bad symptoms described in bug 25393 : no crashes, no screen deactivation, no corruption (though I did not manage to make suspend-to-ram work yet). On the other hand, I do not use that box much, so maybe I don't use it enough to get/see all the bad symptoms. And in my case, I doubt the raw edid is valid as it seems different every time (and the remainder too). I just made a fresh boot, with X started automatically. The error did not occur. Then I restarted X (init 3 ; init 5) and it appeared. The corresponding kernel log is attached. I just had a look at the different EDID I got, and put 5 of them in a file. It actually looks like 1 2 3 and 5 are the same EDID, but they all seem to be cut, at a different place. I guess they would be valid otherwise as I can see my screen model : MM904U The 4th one is completely different though, but it happened right after I played with gallium, got a lot of errors and X lock and killed X. So I guess I have mainly two questions, out of curiosity : 1) why does the edid seem to be randomly cut ? 2) why doesn't it have any apparent bad effects other than an error in kernel log ?
