[Bug 1863248] Re: Intel display driver cannot read EDID from VGA monitor
I have update. I have found that my VGA cable was "broken", one of EDID wires was broken. It was not 100% broken, so sometimes EDID was working but in most cases it was not working. Source of this problem was VGA cable. Anyway, this issue highlighted that when EDID information is not available than Linux doesn't allow user to set higher resolution than 1024x800. That is not nice... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1863248 Title: Intel display driver cannot read EDID from VGA monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1863248/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1863248] Re: Intel display driver cannot read EDID from VGA monitor
I tried to switch resolution to 2048x1152@60Hz and it worked (Win10). I found I can define custom resolution but when I tried to define 1920x1200@60Hz, it was not accepted with information that maximum bandwidth was exceeded. After several tries, custom resolution 1920x1200@56Hz was accepted and I was able to switch to it. Screen is finally crisp! DELL monitor reports that resolution is 1920x1200@60Hz, Windows reports 1920x1200@56Hz. This was tricky... Monitor reported by Windows is "Generic Non-PnP Monitor". I updated BIOS but I think there was no real impact of that action to video hardware (microcode was updated). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1863248 Title: Intel display driver cannot read EDID from VGA monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1863248/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1863248] Re: Intel display driver cannot read EDID from VGA monitor
Resolution is set to 1920x1080@60 in Win10 but monitor receives signal 2048x1152@60Hz (this is more than official monitor resolution that is 1020x1200@60Hz but it looks like monitor can handle it); this information is visible at DELL monitor menu and even in Windows configuration. Windows report that video RAM is 128MB dedicated RAM and 2048MB shared RAM. It is possible that PC just doesn't have enough video memory to display 1920x1200. I am not sure why I am in this situation. This is not first PC with Intel HD graphics and I believe I never had similar problem before and I was able to run at resolution 1920x1200; I will recheck... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1863248 Title: Intel display driver cannot read EDID from VGA monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1863248/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1863248] Re: Intel display driver cannot read EDID from VGA monitor
I was too optimistic about Win10. Windows cannot detect my monitor too. Situation with Windows is better than situation with Linux. My monitor is DELL U2412M and it has native resolution 1920x1200@60Hz. Windows cannot detect my monitor so they report it as "Standart non PnP Monitor". I can set resolution manually, I can select from many resolutions. Unfortunately, 1920x1200 is not in the list! I can use 1600x1200 or 1920x1080, that is not perfect but much better than 1024x768 that is the maximum resolution offered in Ubuntu/Mint. I downloaded "monitor driver" from DELL support page and install it and forced Windows to replace "non PnP monitor" with "DELL U2412M" driver but nothing changed, I still cannot switch to 1920x1200 resolution. It looks like Intel is troublemaker here... Until this is fixed, it is very unlikely that bug #1 will be fixed... ;-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1863248 Title: Intel display driver cannot read EDID from VGA monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1863248/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1863248] Re: Intel display driver cannot read EDID from VGA monitor
In the old good times of Windows 98 I was able to disable Plug&Play and select my monitor from DB of known models or select generic configuration to match my resolution. I miss such option in modern Linux distributions, it could be useful fallback when Plug&Play for some reason doesn't work. When it works, it is great but when Plug&Play is broken, it is very difficult to configure Linux to use correct display resolution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1863248 Title: Intel display driver cannot read EDID from VGA monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1863248/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1863248] Re: Intel display driver cannot read EDID from VGA monitor
apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected tricia ** Description changed: Ubuntu 18.04 Report if from Linux Mint 19.3 but the same situation is with Ubuntu 18.04 Linux cannot access EDID information from VGA port and it offers maximum resolution of 1024x768, that is not too much for 24" monitor. When I connect VGA monitor to other PC with Nvidia card (cuda driver, GPU for games), it works OK. When I run Windows in this PC, it is OK, monitor is properly detected and resolution set correctly. Problem is only with boards with Intel video chips, those are Linux unfriendly. This is report from nice mini PC, HP EliteDesk 800 G1 USDT.
