Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
Since the GEODE X.org driver switched to the common libDDC for probing monitor resolutions in version 2.9.0, a regression was introduced that makes probing fail on Geode platforms that use a CS5535 companion chip.
This is caused by a hard-coded value that makes DDC probing only possible on the CS5536 companion chip.
Upstream already committed a fix in upstream GIT and, while I don't have access to Geode hardware with a CS5535 chip to validate the fix, it should work.
For Hardy, I propose making a 2.9.0-1ubuntu2.5 for hardy-updates that includes only this patch.
For Intrepid, the fix will be included in 2.10.0-7 for Debian/experimental and can soon be synchronized from there.
Future upstream releases will include this fix in GEODE 2.10.1 (X server 1.4 branch) and 2.12.0 (X server 1.5 branch).
