Can you try removing the pci id line from your config file, so X detects the
cards himself, and see what it says in the config files ?
Vut debian-x is probably the better channel for this one.

Yeah, the bug got ignored so long for it to be irrelevant, certainly this
leaves me a bitter taste of working on X in debian, but i hope the new X team

X didn't know about the pci id of

This may be linked to the special situation of the pegasos board, which used

It is still not fixed, if it is the bug i think about.
When X is killed from a text console, as opposed to killed from inside X, then

Which is in experimental only, not build on powerpc and other arches, and
riddled with some initrd/initramfs problems that will be solved this week.
An upload of 2.6.14-rc4 should happen in the next week, to experimental too
though, but soon after that to unstable if all goes well.

What do i care about resolution. It is the monitor frequencies that are
important, since you can set all the resolutions you want in the debconf
questions, if the monitor and the random values set by debconf don't agree,
you get either a blank screen or a 640x480 fallback. Try it some time.

I don't understand how this is. Currently the default install asks for
horizsync/vertrefresh, but don't ask for resolution settings. The important
thing is the horizsync/vertrefresh values, which need to be probed, and not
the resolution, where there is no way you can do it without asking the user,
at least for confirmation.

Well, i think the main objection to this is that just plain not writing the
horizsync/vertrefresh, altough fine, and what was my plan 6 month ago too, is
_NOT_ error proof, and if X fails to read the edid data, it will automatically
fallback to 640x480 whcih the flat panels do not support right now. This is my
experience, and i have had numerous cases of problems with it. Well less than
100, but most assuredly more than 10.
You can give X all the resolution it wants, if it is not conformant to the
frequency info, it will only be discarded at boot time.

for the entering of an empty string, which would leave out the frequency
option of the config files, and the text above it be modified to inform the
user that he can let this entries blank if he has a monitor capable of DDC.

hat this is not the system running that server, so i have erased the
usual reportbug provided stuff, and attached the XF86Config and XFree86.0.log
files, hope this is enough.

VT switching is no real option here, but then the option probably does
something more subtle :).
Anyway, i am at your disposition if you need this bug investigated, and may
look into this myself also as time permits.

He. That said, there is one problem with the read-edid thingy, namely when you
use a monitor switcher which is not relaying the DDC lines, or you start X
while the monitor is off -> you are screwed.
Thanks for taking care of my bug report.

I believe even the X-Oz licence did experience the addition of this
problematic clause at some time, so this code could be a pre-change fork or
something ? Daniel, what is in the COPYRIGHT or such file ? Could you paste
that here ?

This patch seems good to me at first sight. I didn't test it obviously
