And yet another suggestion, this from Robert Hooker who says he had this same monitor once long ago:
<Sarvatt> ah hah finally found the magic that fixed my old viewsonic, Power up the monitor connected to the VGA and DVI outs both. Once fully powered up, power the machine back down, disconnect the monitor from the power outlet for ~30 seconds, and boot up with only the DVI input connected. <Sarvatt> this was like 5 years ago so memory was fuzzy, that really reset the edid on my viewsonic Robert said his monitor's edid would get corrupted when using Windows for some reason. And if none of the above works (or maybe even if it does), I also have an experimental kernel I can have you play with. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927155 Title: [snb-m-gt2+] Viewsonic VA2012w not correctly detected (Invalid EDID) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/927155/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
