> Please note that the NVIDIA 180.51 Linux graphics driver

> Solutions technical support to correct the EDID.

> NVIDIA and Fujitsu recommend that all Linux Celsius H270 notebook
> users use NVIDIA Linux graphics drivers 180.51 or later, and
> that anyone repackaging a 180.xx NVIDIA Linux graphics driver upgrade to
> 180.51.
