Comment 69 for bug 440411

Nicholas: your patch looks sensible to me.

I guess I should mention that I have an interesting situation because my work computer is suffering from this (change events flood) issue but my home computer has Intel DG45ID board, referenced above as an example of a board that has troubles with the "correct" detection code (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14854). The DG45ID does work correctly with current code (though xrandr has non-existing outputs, if I remember correctly). However, having dealt with other BIOS issues with DG45ID, I'd say that I'd like to get this patch in and then apply workarounds for selected BIOSes as needed. The BIOS in DG45ID can be assumed to be always incorrect in case of doubt...
