[arch-general] linux 3.5 and resolution EDID problem
Hello all, After upgrading to linux-3.5.2, my monitor lost its highest resolution of 1360x768 and went to 1024x768 instead. Downgrading to linux-3.4.9 fixed the issue for the moment. There are some problems reported with linux-3.5-rc4, such as http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2012-June/024455.html. My desktop has Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics controller, which uses i915 module. and I am still experiencing the problem. However unlike the thread on arch forums(https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1153026), I am not experiencing any display corruption. Anything I can do to fix the problem with linux-3.5? Thanks -- Regards Shridhar

Sorry for the typo in the port, I was using 3.5.3 only shridhar@bheem ~$ ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg|grep linux|grep 3.5 linux-3.5.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz linux-api-headers-3.5.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz linux-headers-3.5.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz -- Regards Shridhar

It's an already reported bug, fix has landed in 3.6-rc3. See [ 0 ] for more info on the bug and patches to fix it. It will solve the display issue but you'll still see EDID reporting on dmesg PS: One of the patches will fail to apply because there is now a comment block between two instructions on the drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_crt.c file , so you could get the patch edited to work with 3.5 on my github at [ 1 ] and [ 2 ] for the two patches you need to apply [ 0 ] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45881 [ 1 ] https://github.com/alferpal/linux-zen/blob/master/0001-drm-i915-extract-conn... [ 2 ] https://github.com/alferpal/linux-zen/blob/master/0002-drm-i915-fall-back-to... Hope it helps
