Hi,
I have a monitor connected via a KVM to a radeon card (ATI RV620 LE [Radeon HD 3450]), since it's a server i previously used "nomodeset", however i just tried using DRM/KMS but my logs get spammed with messages about invalid EDID.
I have tried to circumvent this by loading the edid data from file with "drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/1680x1050.bin", that seems to work in principle but the log spamming didn't stop:

.... endlessly
The message about VGA-2 eludes me .. since only the HDMI is wired up.
Is there any reason for it not to just take the edid-data from file and be done with it .. instead of keep retrying stuff that will fail and log spam ?
