Description Alex Villacis Lasso 2010-12-20 15:41:03 UTC
All mentioned computers run Fedora 14 x86_64 with KMS.

On my work machine with an Intel graphics chipset and a flat panel with working EDID, vanilla kernels 2.6.37-rc6 and 2.6.37-rc5 works OK.

On my home machine, with a somewhat different Intel graphics chipset, and a flat panel that does *not* report EDID information, 2.6.37-rc5 works OK but 2.6.37-rc6 blanks the KMS display on boot. I get the "no signal" message on the panel instead of a working display. I was able to bisect this to the following commit:

    drm: Don't try and disable an encoder that was never enabled
    
    Prevents code that assumes that the encoder is active when asked to be
    disabled from dying a horrible death.

When I revert this commit, the problem goes away in my home machine.
