Ideally, we implement some basic sanity checks to avoid reading past the end of an edid with a bad checksum. Usually the checksum problems are something stupid like a vendor made a last minute change one of the fields or a tv/receiver mangles something when updating hdmi fields. IMHO, it would be better to use the EDID than not. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
