Hello. I recently upgraded my sid box with a Gforce 8600. Following a reboot the binary nvidia drivers would only give me a screen resolution so small it was unusable and nouveau failed to find any usable resolutions at all. Analysis of recent X logs indicated that in the case of both drivers, EDID reads were failing, providing X with no data. When testing with a GRML live CD, EDID data was returned using nouveau, so this isn't a hardware problem.
Since the problem occurs with both nvidia drivers, it's not a driver problem. Since EDID reads work properly with the GRML live CD it's not a hardware problem. I don't think any X packages have been upgraded at all since the last boot that could have caused the problem. I'm at a loss as to where the problem is coming from. Any guesses?
