Current xorg in Hardy usually autodetects your monitor, it's resolution, dpi, etc. and everything just magically works. This happens because modern monitors can be queried for 'EDID' data, that returns all the necessary info to configure things properly.
However, there are cases where the monitor fails to report EDID. These exhibit themselves as a variety of symptoms, often including incorrect resolution selection, strange font dpi settings, inability to select resolutions other than 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, and sometimes other odd issues. To determine if you have this issue, simply run `sudo ddcprobe` or `sudo get-edid | parse-edid`, and you will see 'EDID fail' in the output.
There are several causes for EDID fail reads. One is if you're using a truly ancient monitor from the days before EDID. A second is if you're using a video extension cable, KVM, or other piece of equipment connected between the monitor and the video card that lacks the EDID wire. In both these cases, you have a hardware issue, and there's nothing that can be done in software to get around it - you'll need to either get different hardware, or familiarize yourself with xorg.conf syntax and do your configuration yourself.
But there are also some unexplained EDID failures beyond these, and that's what this bug report is for. If you're experiencing this issue, feel free to add details of your problem here, but make sure to include the following:
1. The exact manufacturer and model id for your monitor (it is usually written on the back of the monitor)
2. Your Xorg.0.log (or Xorg.0.log.old) from after a failed boot
3. Install the 'read-edid' package, run `sudo get-edid > edid.dat` and then attach that file (it's binary, so don't copy/paste).
4. The correct HorizSync and VertRefresh ranges for your monitor. This is typically written in your monitor's documentation; if you don't have it handy, it's often available online from your monitor manufacturer's website. Laptop users (esp. macbooks) may not have this info available, but get what you can.
If your monitor is misreporting EDID (as opposed to not reporting it at all), then sometimes the issue can be solved by adding quirks for your monitor, if we have the above 4 pieces of data. Sometimes, if it's an established quirk, we can fairly easily backport those to prior versions of Ubuntu.
There are several different versions of EDID, and it sometimes happens that a newer version of EDID will be used by a monitor, that Xorg may not yet comprehend. In these cases, we simply need to examine the new EDID structure and adapt Xorg to accept it.
If your monitor is not reporting EDID at all, or if your video card is somehow invalidating it before it can be read, then this is a bigger problem. Try your monitor with a different computer and/or different video card, to identify if the issue is particular to the video card; if so, please report this and your video card's PCI ID (i.e., attach your lspci -vvnn). If the monitor fails the same way regardless of what video card it's attached to, then it's probably just a bad monitor. There may be nothing that can be done in this case, but report all the info about the monitor anyway, just in case new ideas come to light later.

Current xorg in Hardy usually autodetects your monitor, it's resolution, dpi, etc. and everything just magically works. This happens because modern monitors can be queried for 'EDID' data, that returns all the necessary info to configure things properly.
However, there are cases where the monitor fails to report EDID. These exhibit themselves as a variety of symptoms, often including incorrect resolution selection, strange font dpi settings, inability to select resolutions other than 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, and sometimes other odd issues. To determine if you have this issue, simply run `sudo ddcprobe` or `sudo get-edid | parse-edid`, and you will see 'EDID fail' in the output.
There are several causes for EDID fail reads. One is if you're using a truly ancient monitor from the days before EDID. A second is if you're using a video extension cable, KVM, or other piece of equipment connected between the monitor and the video card that lacks the EDID wire. In both these cases, you have a hardware issue, and there's nothing that can be done in software to get around it - you'll need to either get different hardware, or familiarize yourself with xorg.conf syntax and do your configuration yourself.
But there are also some unexplained EDID failures beyond these, and that's what this bug report is for. If you're experiencing this issue, feel free to add details of your problem here, but make sure to include the following:
1. The exact manufacturer and model id for your monitor (it is usually written on the back of the monitor)
2. Your Xorg.0.log (or Xorg.0.log.old) from after a failed boot
3. Install the 'read-edid' package, run `sudo get-edid > edid.dat` and then attach that file (it's binary, so don't copy/paste).
4. The correct HorizSync and VertRefresh ranges for your monitor. This is typically written in your monitor's documentation; if you don't have it handy, it's often available online from your monitor manufacturer's website. Laptop users (esp. macbooks) may not have this info available, but get what you can.
If your monitor is misreporting EDID (as opposed to not reporting it at all), then sometimes the issue can be solved by adding quirks for your monitor, if we have the above 4 pieces of data. Sometimes, if it's an established quirk, we can fairly easily backport those to prior versions of Ubuntu.
There are several different versions of EDID, and it sometimes happens that a newer version of EDID will be used by a monitor, that Xorg may not yet comprehend. In these cases, we simply need to examine the new EDID structure and adapt Xorg to accept it.
If your monitor is not reporting EDID at all, or if your video card is somehow invalidating it before it can be read, then this is a bigger problem. Try your monitor with a different computer and/or different video card, to identify if the issue is particular to the video card; if so, please report this and your video card's PCI ID (i.e., attach your lspci -vvnn). If the monitor fails the same way regardless of what video card it's attached to, then it's probably just a bad monitor. There may be nothing that can be done in this case, but report all the info about the monitor anyway, just in case new ideas come to light later.

These exhibit themselves as a variety of symptoms, often including incorrect resolution selection, strange font dpi settings, inability to select resolutions other than 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, and sometimes other odd issues. To determine if you have this issue, simply run `sudo ddcprobe` or `sudo get-edid | parse-edid`, and you will see 'EDID fail' in the output.
There are several causes for EDID fail reads. One is if you're using a truly ancient monitor from the days before EDID. A second is if you're using a video extension cable, KVM, or other piece of equipment connected between the monitor and the video card that lacks the EDID wire. In both these cases, you have a hardware issue, and there's nothing that can be done in software to get around it - you'll need to either get different hardware, or familiarize yourself with xorg.conf syntax and do your configuration yourself.
But there are also some unexplained EDID failures beyond these, and that's what this bug report is for. If you're experiencing this issue, feel free to add details of your problem here, but make sure to include the following:
1. The exact manufacturer and model id for your monitor (it is usually written on the back of the monitor)
2. Your Xorg.0.log (or Xorg.0.log.old) from after a failed boot
3. Install the 'read-edid' package, run `sudo get-edid > edid.dat` and then attach that file (it's binary, so don't copy/paste).
4. The correct HorizSync and VertRefresh ranges for your monitor. This is typically written in your monitor's documentation; if you don't have it handy, it's often available online from your monitor manufacturer's website. Laptop users (esp. macbooks) may not have this info available, but get what you can.
If your monitor is misreporting EDID (as opposed to not reporting it at all), then sometimes the issue can be solved by adding quirks for your monitor, if we have the above 4 pieces of data. Sometimes, if it's an established quirk, we can fairly easily backport those to prior versions of Ubuntu.
There are several different versions of EDID, and it sometimes happens that a newer version of EDID will be used by a monitor, that Xorg may not yet comprehend. In these cases, we simply need to examine the new EDID structure and adapt Xorg to accept it.
If your monitor is not reporting EDID at all, or if your video card is somehow invalidating it before it can be read, then this is a bigger problem. Try your monitor with a different computer and/or different video card, to identify if the issue is particular to the video card; if so, please report this and attach your lspci -vvnn. If the monitor fails the same way regardless of what video card it's attached to, then it's probably just a bad monitor. There may be nothing that can be done in this case, but report all the info about the monitor anyway, just in case new ideas come to light later. For example, bug #288807 involves this situation with a particular old laptop model, so we could possibly trigger a quirk from the hostbridge and chip.
