EDID/screen resolution issues. (SOLVED)

Hey, peeps.

This problem is driving me potty. I've done a search of the net but nothing has worked:

I installed the Feb release of CB and, during the reboot, got an error:

"EDID checksum is invalid, reminder is 207". It then froze. This happens after an install and a live session.

I've used the "nomodeset" workaround to get into my desktop but it's now running at a resolution of 800x600 with (according to grandr) 640x480 as the only other option.

I realise that, in order to help, you'll need more information so just ask and I'll provide it. At this moment in time, without prompting, I'd have trouble telling you what I've done as I've tried so many things, all to no avail.



Also, graphics-related but probably not related to ^^ :

I'm having trouble installing the nvidia kernel/module. When I try to install nvidia-glx (as per this thread: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … r-squeeze/ ), it tells me that it breaks something (sadly, I can't recall what. I *think* it's gcc (I know it's 3 letters)); is this an issue with the package I'm trying to install, rather than a problem specific to me?

Thanks in advance.

Re: EDID/screen resolution issues. (SOLVED)

Hi,

The 'nomodeset' solution should have solved the "EDID" message, but it prevents the nouveau drivers from being loaded. So you probably fall back to the vesa driver, with its limited capabilities.

Installing the nvidia proprietary driver should remedy this.
However, the thread you are referring to is now 2 years old, and I could not tell if it still works.

I have an older Nvidia card myself (FX Go5700), and I always use the driver downloaded from the nvidia site.

Here is a link to the method that works for me: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/post/201435/#p201435

REMARKS:
(1) Download the correct driver for your video card. On the nvidia website you can choose which one you want.
To find which card you have:

lspci -knn | grep -i nvidia

(2) You are using gdm, so replace 'slim' in the tutorial by 'gdm'

Hope this gets it going smile

Re: EDID/screen resolution issues. (SOLVED)

Thanks, Xaos.

Your solution *kinda* worked.

The nvidia driver is installed and the fan speed has dropped, showing that it's working; the problem I have (according to nvidia-settings and grandr) is that I'm limited to 640x480 resolution.

Re: EDID/screen resolution issues. (SOLVED)

Post output of 

sudo cat /var/log/messages | grep -i tainted
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I suspect nvidia-xconfig also stumbles over the EDID problem, so it has generated a config file without specific modelines.

Nothing shows up when I use the first command. (I'm assuming the results show up in the terminal, much like below.)

Re: EDID/screen resolution issues. (SOLVED)

See this link for a solution from someone with very similar problem:
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu … 0x480.html

Try xorg.conf from post #5.

I think the only thing you will have to change is the Bus id: change it to PCI:1:0:0

Re: EDID/screen resolution issues. (SOLVED)

Hi, again, x.

I copied the example given in that link but it didn't work. I've spend the best part of 5 hours reading up aboout the xorg config file, trying various options, and little has changed.
New xorg.conf:

I've checked and double-checked everything; the monitor specs are from the users manual. The modeline is from an online generator. Sadly, the only thing I've managed to do is change the dpi.
Is it a kernel issue? Could I use the older kernel, as found in the non-backports version of CB?

Re: EDID/screen resolution issues. (SOLVED)

Post output of 

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

with the new configuration active.

And post output of 

xrandr

Can you give more info - make and model - of the screen you are using?

I really appreciate your help with this, x; for such a (seemingly) simple thing, it's taking a lot of work to fix.

Do you have any idea what the problem is? Is it a kernel thing? Is it an incompatibility issue? Could my monitor/graphics card be broken? I've had no problems of this sort until I installed the new version of CB.

Re: EDID/screen resolution issues. (SOLVED)

I suspect all this is a consequence of EDID not getting through correctly. But it is difficult to determine where things are going wrong, except if you have a spare screen, spare cable, spare graphics card... to eliminate things.

Do you have the same problem with live media? with another distro? [with Windows?]

I will have a look at your last info posted.

This modeline definition is wrong. Try replacing it with the one from the link I provided.

Re: EDID/screen resolution issues. (SOLVED)

I think I may have found the cause. I connected the monitor up using the D-sub cable (blue connector) and it's now showing the correct resolution.

I'll have a play about with it to determine if it's the cable, the graphics card or one of the connectors.

I did check the cables previously, to make sure they hadn't come lose but it was obviously something more than that.

Thanks, again.

Note: I'd already tried the modeline from the link you gave me. The one above is what I ended up with after my (extensive) reseach.

If anything's come from this, it's that I now know a lot more about xorg and, also, what to do when I can't log on to X due to missing drivers, etc. big_smile

Re: EDID/screen resolution issues. (SOLVED)

OK. If it is working, we are happy. smile

The more I learn about xorg, the more I realize I know very little about it indeed. big_smile
