Message-Id: <200705240137.35955.dtor@insightbb.com> Date: Thu, 24 May 2007 01:37:35 -0400 From: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@...ightbb.com> To: "Antonino A. Daplas" <adaplas@...il.com> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Nvidiafb issues on Inspiron 8100 Hi Antonino, I am having the following issues on my Dell Inspiron 8100. They are not new but I just got around to report them. With CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_I2C I get 1600x1200 resolution but pixels "swarming" and it is unuseable. There are following messages in dmesg (note complaints from i2c): May 24 00:53:29 core kernel: [ 0.000000] Kernel command line: ro root=LABEL=/ video=nvidiafb: 1600x1200MR atkbd.softrepeat selinux=0 May 24 00:53:29 core kernel: [ 12.876534] nvidiafb_setup START May 24 00:53:29 core kernel: [ 12.876608] nvidiafb_setup END May 24 00:53:29 core kernel: [ 12.877920] nvidiafb_probe START May 24 00:53:29 core kernel: [ 12.880624] nvidiafb: Device ID: 10de0112 May 24 00:53:29 core kernel: [ 13.105685] nvidiafb: EDID found from BUS1 May 24 00:53:29 core kernel: [ 13.182737] i2c-adapter i2c-1: unable to read EDID block.
