Nvidia and invalid checksum for EDID (Xorg-issues)

Posted June 14, 2010 by MrBerry

Having troubles installing a DVI splitter through a HDMI converter on our Jira-dashboard i found that the splitter made the EDID(Extended display identification data) fancy automagically validation shit fucked up and made the screen falling back to 640×480.
This made me shat brix.

After alot of googling i found a faboulous trigger called IgnoreEDIDChecksum that i put under the Screen section in the xorg.conf.

Hurrayh for new fancy automagic-probe-validation-fuckups
