      "message": "drm: allow loading an EDID as firmware to override broken monitor\n\nBroken monitors and/or broken graphic boards may send erroneous or no\nEDID data. This also applies to broken KVM devices that are unable to\ncorrectly forward the EDID data of the connected monitor but invent\ntheir own fantasy data.\n\nThis patch allows to specify an EDID data set to be used instead of\nprobing the monitor for it. It contains built-in data sets of frequently\nused screen resolutions. In addition, a particular EDID data set may be\nprovided in the /lib/firmware directory and loaded via the firmware\ninterface. The name is passed to the kernel as module parameter of the\ndrm_kms_helper module either when loaded\n  options drm_kms_helper edid_firmware\u003dedid/1280x1024.bin\nor as kernel commandline parameter\n  drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware\u003dedid/1280x1024.bin\n\nIt is also possible to restrict the usage of a specified EDID data set\nto a particular connector. This is done by prepending the name of the\nconnector to the name of the EDID data set using the syntax\n  edid_firmware\u003d[\u003cconnector\u003e:]\u003cedid\u003e\nsuch as, for example,\n  edid_firmware\u003dDVI-I-1:edid/1920x1080.bin\nin which case no other connector will be affected.\n\nThe built-in data sets are\nResolution    Name\n--------------------------------\n1024x768      edid/1024x768.bin\n1280x1024     edid/1280x1024.bin\n1680x1050     edid/1680x1050.bin\n1920x1080     edid/1920x1080.bin\n\nThey are ignored, if a file with the same name is available in the\n/lib/firmware directory.\n\nThe built-in EDID data sets are based on standard timings that may not\napply to a particular monitor and even crash it. Ideally, EDID data of\nthe connected monitor should be used. They may be obtained through the\ndrm/cardX/cardX-\u003cconnector\u003e/edid entry in the /sys/devices PCI directory\nof a correctly working graphics adapter.\n\nIt is even possible to specify the name of an EDID data set on-the-fly\nvia the /sys/module interface, e.g.\necho edid/myedid.bin \u003e/sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/edid_firmware\nThe new screen mode is considered when the related kernel function is\ncalled for the first time after the change. Such calls are made when the\nX server is started or when the display settings dialog is opened in an\nalready running X server.\n\nSigned-off-by: Carsten Emde \u003cC.Emde@osadl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Dave Airlie \u003cairlied@redhat.com\u003e\n"
