Some monitors apparently forget to mark any mode as preferred in the EDID. In this particular case we have a very generic looking ID "PNP Model 0 Serial Number 4" / "LVDS 800x600" so a specific quirk doesn't seem particularly wise. Also the quirk we have (EDID_QUIRK_FIRST_DETAILED_PREFERRED) is actually defunct so we'd have to fix it first. When there is no preferred mode we currently fall back to the VBT. That approach fails us here as the VBT mode is 1024x768 whereas the panel resolution is 800x600. So instead of falling back to the VBT when there is no preferred mode let's just pick the first probed mode. Only if the EDID provided no modes we fall back to the VBT. For this machine the VBIOS would appear to select the 800x600 60Hz EST mode rather than the first detailed mode (which is the new fallback will pick). The two modes differ only by having opposite sync polarities, which does not seem to matter to the panel in question. v2: Make sure the probed_modes list is not empty Cc: Adam Jackson <ajax@redhat.com> Cc: Roberto Viola <cagnulein@gmail.com> Tested-by: Roberto Viola <cagnulein@gmail.com> Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109780 Signed-off-by: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com> Link: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/20190321132446.22394-2-ville.syrjala@linux.intel.com Reviewed-by: Adam Jackson <ajax@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
