 This might be a bug in nouveau or in the kernel.
[..]
 Considering my video card is an Ati, wich I suspect doesn't use nouveau, it 
 must not be this last one.

For info, sometimes ago, I also add a problem with spurious
[drm:drm_edid_block_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid ...
Sorry, I do not remember from which exact kernel version it was. The
problems occurs for a second screen on DVI output of a laptop. It was
intermittent (ie most of the time, the EDID was correct but sometimes
the EDID was read incorrectly and the output was disabled).
  I solved this by adding
options drm_kms_helper poll=N
Using this also ameliorate the stability of my suspend to disk. I did not
try to remove this setup recently (do not touch a working system!).
My graphic card is an Intel:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 
Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 0c)

There was recently (v2.6.39-rc2~3^2~24) an interesting fix in the
area:

So I'd be interested in results using the kernel from experimental if
you're willing.  It would also be interesting to know approximately
when sometimes ago is --- one month? one year? five years?

   I solved this by adding

Someone mentioned this workaround on lkml, too.  I'm not so fond of
workarounds before fixes; they hide bugs. :)

Thanks, this seems useful.

 you're willing.

I'm willing (I usually use the latest packaged kernel). However, if I
followed correctly the debian-kernel ML, the current experimental
kernel does not have the support for Intel wifi 4965 (new 'legacy intel'
config option to enable). So, I'm waiting for the next one.

 It would also be interesting to know approximately
 when sometimes ago is --- one month? one year? five years?

I would say a few months.

 workarounds before fixes; they hide bugs. :)

You are right. However, when there is no special log and its not easy
to reproduce, I usually prefer to wait and see if this is corrected
in next kernels.
  If you want to know, I still have some problems with s2disk. Some
kernel are a better than others but having a failure every 10 s2disk
at best is very inconvenient for a day-to-day working laptop.
I already reported these bugs (even upstream) but, here again, without
specific scenario to reproduce, it is very difficult to even tell if
the bug has been fixed or not. I switched about 2 months ago to use
s2ram instead of s2disk and I did not experiment any crash since.

  For this particular bug (EDID checksum), I can easily try a new
kernel because:
- it is easy to workaround again the problem if the bug is not fixed
- if the bug is still here, I will just have a screen that switch-off
  (and not a crash of the kernel)
So, when a experimental kernel with intel wifi will be available, I
will try and report.

Vincent

 I'm not talking about ignoring broken EDIDs, but about actually fixing
 them[1].

 This is clearly not my problem. I have two monitors, both the same brand and
 model. One is connected to the VGA output and the other one on the DVI. No
 matter wich one I plug into the DVI port, it detetcts the EDID worngly, while
 the VGA does it correctly.

 Or the VGA port is ignoring broken edids even without the forget broken
 edids patch, or somehow the DVI port is getting wrong edids, or checksumming
 them wrongly.


You might try the patch here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27708#c7

If you are using a DVI or HDMI port, some TV's don't properly update
their checksums for different ports if they have minor edid changes
for the port.  Also, some hdmi receivers/switches mangle the edids.

Thanks, that's exactly the patch I'm already using. Works perfectly :-)

I should mention that both monitors are VGA, so I'm using a VGA←→DVI adpator. 
And as I said before, it used to work without the patch :-)

Can you bisect?  I suspect the culprit is one of the patches that made
the kernel edid parser more strict.  Alternatively, you may have been
using ums previously which does not have the same strict checks as the
kernel.

One simple question: is it possible to get the edid info provided by the VGA 
port? In that way one could compare both raw outputs.

Two corrupt-EDID/dmesg-spam puzzles for you.  Seems to be a
regression, though I'm not sure from when.

I have a Benq Product Name FP241W manufactured February 2007 Revision
B4-125 and used to use the DVI input. The EDID data in the DVI input
suddenly failed and the my PC would not longer boot. I plugged my PC
into the HDMI input of the monitor and the machine boots but X does not
start at the correct resolution. It appears that the EDID data from HMDI
input does not propose 1920x1200.

thanks, I applied the patch to my 2.6.38-2-amd64 kernel and created 
/etc/modprobe.d/drm-stuart.conf. Now the DVI input of my screen can be used 
without an xorg.conf. I can now reboot linux (using kexec) and start the X 
server using the DVI input of my screen. I still have to use the HDMI input to 
get past the BIOS.

This is a good patch. Please include it in the mainline kernel!

It appears that it is just the checksum on the DVI-I-1 input of my screen that 
went bad. I wonder why that happened. I did find reports of this happening to 
other BenQ 241W screens: http://forums.entechtaiwan.com/index.php?topic=6783.45

I still get a few messages in /var/log/syslog but they stop quickly.

This whole bug really looks like #615598.
This might be a bug in nouveau or in the kernel.

Did the initial breakage of the screens occur with 2.6.38?
If so, you may want to try fixing your EDID info has explained in a
similar bug report[1], but be careful, it may cause more harm if
something goes wrong.
If you decided to do so, please check if the corruption appears again.

Considering my video card is an Ati, wich I suspect doesn't use nouveau, it 
must not be this last one.

And at least in my case, my card was working with a 2.6.38 kernel without

My bad, overlooked it since Stuart uses nouveau. However, it might be
related nonetheless (and might be a completely different issue as well).
Did your monitor fail right after an upgrade?

Anyway, I'd be really interested to hear from Stuart Pook: his story
sounds exactly like mine.

 And at least in my case, my card was working with a 2.6.38 kernel without

Your case sounds similar, though.
If the bug is the same, you can easily (even more easily since you have
an identical screen working just fine) fix your screen, using the method
mentioned on fdo.
But I'm no expert, and since this method tempers with your hardware, I'd
recommend you to be cautious.

would not even show BIOS messages. I started to try and understand what was wrong at the 
end of March. According to a ls -lrtc /boot I was probably running 
2.6.37-1-amd64 on 23 February. Let me know if you need more information.

I read with interest the report of how to correct a broken EDID. I might give 
it a go but not before next week.  
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34554


But I'm no expert, and since this method tempers with your hardware, I'd
recommend you to be cautious.


Yes, especially as I only have one Benq FP241W.

Bug#622993: every 10s I get [drm:drm_edid_block_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid ...

 Did you mean the patch to tell dri to forget about bad checksums? If so, I 
 already tried it and worked fine.
 
 If you are talking about something else, please give me some link :-)

I'm not talking about ignoring broken EDIDs, but about actually fixing
them[1].
If you're fine as it is now, I wouldn't recommend trying it out, though.

This is clearly not my problem. I have two monitors, both the same brand and 
model. One is connected to the VGA output and the other one on the DVI. No 
matter wich one I plug into the DVI port, it detetcts the EDID worngly, while 
the VGA does it correctly.

Or the VGA port is ignoring broken edids even without the forget broken 
edids patch, or somehow the DVI port is getting wrong edids, or checksumming 
them wrongly.

Kinds regards, Lisandro.

One of the biggest wake-up calls of my career was when I saw a record 
contract.
I said, 'Wait - you sell it for $18.98 and I make 80 cents? And I have to pay
you back the money you lent me to make it and then you own it? Who the f**k
made that rule? Oh! The record labels made it because artists are dumb and
they'll sign anything' - like I did.

Thanks.  Could you try the patch from

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27708#c7

and see what happens when booting with the drm.edid_strict=0 option?

 The patch works perfectly, so at least I have a workaround :-) Thank you!

 Now the question is why the DVI port gets a corrupt EDID while the VGA port 
 gets it right. Or maybe the code processing the EDID of the DVI port is wrong?

A puzzle.  Thanks for checking.

I've passed the report upstream; hopefully upstream received a copy,
but I can't be sure if it's just waiting for moderation or was
filtered for some reason.  If the former, it will be at
http://mid.gmane.org/20110430040921.GA7942@elie eventually.
