RAOFmlankhorst: Hey, have you got drm_kms_helper.edid=$FOO:edid/<thing>.bin to work with i915? I can't seem to get it to override the broken EDID on my monitor that's causing i915 to pretend there's nothing there.07:42
RAOFSpecifically, throwing “drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=HDMI2:edid/1280x1024.bin” on the kernel cmd line (or HDMIA2, or HDMI-A-2, or whatever) doesn't result in i915 doing anything different. If I drop the HDMI2: bit i915 applies that EDID to my eDP and DP outputs, as expected, but _still_ not to HDMI2.07:44
mlankhorsthm funstuff :P07:46
mlankhorstI just overrode all my EDIDs, I have 2 identical monitors ;-)07:46
mlankhorstlets see..07:46
RAOFFor those playing at home, http://paste.ubuntu.com/7371321/ is what i915 says about my poor old LCD. :)07:48
mlankhorstshould be HDMI-A-2 then07:53
mlankhorstthat's the connector name afaict07:54
RAOFTried HDMI-A-2 as well :(08:09
* RAOF → EOD though.08:09
mlankhorstwhat happens then?08:11
RAOFmlankhorst: Same EDID checksum spew from i915, no monitor for RAOF.10:22
mlankhorstodd, that should be the magic invocation if dmesg can be trusted :P10:23
RAOFIt's also possible that i915 won't load the EDID over a present, but broken one :/10:23
RAOFThis worked for radeon, though.10:24
mlankhorstmight be10:24
mlankhorstbut since it uses strncmp, shouldn't HDMI:edid/1280x1024.bin work?10:24
mlankhorstthough that'd probably make it apply to all hdmi :P10:26
RAOFWell, I've only got one HDMI port, so...10:26
RAOFI've no idea why i915 thinks I've got two.10:26
mlankhorsthm that should fix my 'optimus' config too :P10:27
pkernRAOF: You're not using a DP adapter or the like, right? :)14:19
RAOFpkern: I *am* using a HDMI→DVI adaptor.23:15
RAOFpkern: But that's obviously working, because the BIOS can bring up the display and GRUB will draw correctly to it.23:15
