FWIW, I just finished installing Ubuntu Server 16.04.02 and then upgrading it to the latest on Jan 11, 2018. I have a command line only system (it is just a really basic firewall) and the keynel is logging messages like this:

Jan 11 09:23:42 speedy2 kernel: [64428.303428] [drm:radeon_vga_detect [radeon]] *ERROR* VGA-1: probed a monitor but no|invalid EDID

every ten seconds. I am using an old VGA monitor because I really don't need a screen unless something goes wrong, but sadly, the only thing currently wrong is that the kernel won't shut up about the monitor! So, I leave the monitor unplugged until I need it in order to keep the noise level down. I wonder if the radeon driver will ever be fixed for this?
