Hi together, does someone know if this patch has been applied already to linux-image-2.6.38-bpo.2-amd64 (2.6.38-3~bpo60+1)? I installed this image yesterday and had the idea to test the drm.edid_strict=0 parameter on it today. - It works like a charm. ;) Dunno why my patch didn't work... (But I don't have the time nor the mood to track this down atm.) Nevertheless: Thank you for trying to help me. - And sorry for bugreporting this twice and not cc-ing the last mail. Reason for the first was that I never used reportbug on this machine before and therefore had no .reportbugrc on it which caused in a nonexistent mail address due to some circumstances. Best regards, Martin On Tue, May 03, 2011 at 02:01:08PM -0500, Jonathan Nieder wrote: > Thanks; cc-ing the bug log. > > So, my only other suggestion is a few rounds of bisection.
