Hello misc@ I just installed OpenBSD 5.8 from CD (i386) on an MSI MS 9A19, and it all went well, but when I put it in the server rack on the KVM it started to produce lots of error messages about "EDID checksum is invalid". The error repeats almost once every minute.
I do not run X on it, but this seems to concern recognizing the attached display. The printed EDID data is apparently random. The KVM is attached to the machine's DVI connector with a DVI-to-VGA adapter, if that would matter. Here is the dmesg: OpenBSD 5.7 (GENERIC.MP) #767: Sun Mar 8 11:04:48 MDT 2015 dera...@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC.MP cpu0: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 @ 1.60GHz
