Hello,

Even while disabling EDID the same error.

grep EDID .config
# CONFIG_DRM_LOAD_EDID_FIRMWARE is not set
# CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID is not set


Nothing other changed.

You need ACPI_VIDEO set to yes not modular - shouldn't let you select a failing build but that is probably the workaround
Comment 3 JP Pozzi 2013-01-04 17:56:28 UTC
Hello,

I try it but ACPI_VIDEO is reset to "m" whenever you "make menuconfig" or
compile the kernel. I can't find what other parameters are to be set to "y".

At least the kernel compile but I have some problems, after one or two hours the
screen (or keyboard ?) get stuck and I have to connect from another machine
to stop properly the system. I get the same kind of "screen blocked" with the
3.7.1 kernel.

It is the same for 3.7.1 kernel.

Hello,

Did not get the problem with newer kernels.

Bug to close.
