Ubuntu Multimedia :: DELL ST2310 Monitor DVI-D Unrecognized By UBUNTU - EDID Checksum Is Invalid?
Oct 1, 2010
I have got a very frustrating problem. I am not new to Ubuntu but this time I bit my tongue! Actually it is a problem related to my graphics card "Intel 945GM" , it is a real crap card but it is working fine with Windows XP pro (I use windows just for testing)!
Problem : My monitor DELL ST2310 would not work under DVI mode (only VGA mode is working fine)! I tested with Kubuntu, Ubuntu (several distos), Fedora 13.. Upon booting, I get this error message :
Code:
EDID checksum is invalid
remainder 130
the monitor DVI connection is working perfectly under Windows XP. This means the Intel 945GM cannot read the EDID hexadecimal data transmitted by the monitor through the DVI connection. Yet, System recognizes the graphic card's DVI-D port but set it as disconnected.

I burned a new disk with ubuntu 11.04 image and I managed to boot the live cd using my external monitor, I've installed and went into my monitor settings, it displays my external monitor as unknown and doesn't even detect my laptop screen. Changing the driver being used in my xorg.conf to vesa allows me to boot properly and ubuntu uses my laptop screen (yet it still detects it as an unknown monitor). Installing any nvidia driver and using it breaks my system. Heres an image of the laptop when using the nvidia driver (btw I can still hear the ubuntu sound that plays when its reached the logon prompt).

I just installed jessie on a machine that had been running wheezy with no problems. Now I see that a kworker process is hogging nearly 100% of one of the CPUs. I am not sure how to proceed with solving the problem even after doing a number of Google searches.
I'm not sure if this is related, but I am getting the following when I run 'dmesg':
[ 3637.597975] [drm:drm_edid_block_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 42

Lots of these in my dmesg, dont like that. Don't think it should be there. Don't know how to get rid of it. What i do know is:
It's intel graphic card related on Ubuntu 9.10 2.6.31-20-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 8 09:05:19 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux On a EEEPC 1000H

I have installed a fresh copy of FC14 and when I logged in locally for the first time I was getting the error messages below. Now these same messages are filling up my messages log and it's running non stop in the background. Has anyone seen anything on this error? I have searched through Google looking for help and I'm not finding much.
This box is a simple file/web server with no monitor hooked up and no GUI. I have also included the lspci ouput below if that might help. Really looking for any suggestions or input on how I might stop the error reporting since is filling up my log files quickly.

I'm running 2.6.32-28-generic. I have a raid1 (two 1tb drives with two partitions... one for / and one for /home.) After a power outage, I'm seeing grub complaining about /dev/md0 not existing (ALERT! /dev/md0 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!)
I booted to the latest live CD to have a look around. My dmesg output includes these ominous lines:

I am trying to install Unbuntu 11.04 on a Via raid 0. I have windows already setup and it boots fine, but Ubuntu does not see the raid set. Running dmraid -ay (or any valid switch with dmraid) returns :
sudo dmraid -ay -v
ERROR: via: invalid checksum on /dev/sdb
ERROR: via: invalid checksum on /dev/sda
no raid disks
mainboard is Asus M2V, with 2x Hitachi 250Gb disks in raid 0 configuration set in BIOS. I have a 3rd hard disk on the onboard Marvell 88SE6121 sata controller but this is not seen at all by Ubuntu either. I was thinking of installing it here if Ubuntu does not work the RAID, but no go it would seem. I do remember installing an earlier version of ubuntu on this very same board using RAID 0 (2x 80Gb drives at that time) and the RAID was reconised and worked fine straight from live cd to full install.

I can not for the life of me determine how to get the monitor serial number / manufacture date using Extended Display Identification Data (EDID). Does anyone know? None of the following provide this info:
monitor-get-edid
monitor-edid --v
monitor-edid --MonitorsDB
monitor-get-edid | monitor-parse-edid
dmidecode -q

I have a Dell mini 10 netbook that I am trying to set up as a temporary HTPC. Using XP, I can send the video and audio over the HDMI connection, but when I attempt to do so from Ubuntu, there is not an option for a different monitor.

My brother has just installed 9.10 on his Inspiron 6400 and would like to have a dual screen setup using both the laptop display and a flatscreen attached to the VGA socket. Using the standard display options, the two displays are recognised and when the 'mirror screens' option is disabled then settings applied it works to the extent of allowing the cursor to move between the two monitors; however the monitors display nothing except a black screen and the cursor.
I've updated everything to the current version, had a look for restricted drivers (none are suggested by the GUI tool thing) and checked both displays work (both independently and as mirrored). I also had a look for an xorg.conf to poke around in but there wasn't one there.

I'm not sure what has happened. The last update I did was on the 15th. I've rebooted a number of times since then and haven't updated/installed any packages. But clearly I must have changed something but for the life of me I can't remember changing any settings video related. Now X does not start. This is what I get now

A few months ago my monitor broke and began using an old one that does not have EDID.Since then i havent been able to configure my computer with a stable video configuration.I`ve tried a thousand times to edit xorg.conf and i actually got it let me use resolutions higher then 800x600, but when i reboot my computer my usuall setting 1024x768 gets switched back to a lower one - its a pain... my icons get scrambled, the gnome panels, etc.Do I need to edit any other file then xorg.conf?
And another thing I noticed today is that the gnome display manager does not recognise the higher resolution of nvidia-settings. Does it have a seperate settings file?

Apparently you can't get EDID information through a Displayport->DVI adapter. That means that a default install of Lucid (or Natty!) does not recognize the resolutions of any monitor connected with such an adapter.
I'd rather not create an entire multihead xorg.conf just to specify NoDDC. Is there any other way to pass that option to X?

My software and hardware information are as follows. I have Fedora 12 and KDE 4.4.5 installed on a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop. I believe it's a 64 bit processor; it's an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU. The external monitor is a Dell as well.
My problem is that my system does not seem to be detecting an external monitor that I have connected. Everything else is working just fine; however, I would like to have the option of attaching an external monitor. When I plug the external monitor into the laptop, the external monitor remains black and appears to be in power save mode. The results of xrandr -q (with or without the external monitor attached: it doesn't appear to change) are as follows.
Code:
How can I get my laptop to recognize that the external monitor is even connected? Let me know if I can be more specific or provide additional details.

I have an old Dell Optiplex GX240 running Windows XP hooked up to my Olevia HDTV. I'd like to format this computer and install Ubuntu 10.04.After burning the Ubuntu install disk, I hook the computer to the tv via HDMI and reboot to the CDROM but upon booting I receive an 'Invalid Format' error and no video is shown.I did some searching - there is very little info about this problem. This post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1063217 seems to indicate that the solution is to hook up the computer to an old CRT monitor, then after the computer has booted, switch the HDMI cable to the tv.This solution is unsatisfactory. Does anyone have experience with this problem? Is there another way to get around this problem?

I have recently installed ubuntu using wubi on a dimension 9100 PC.When i boot up ubuntu I get a message that it cannot display current video mode when the GUI tries to launch. The monitor is a Dell E173FPb.From digging about on google it seems I need to edit the xorg.conf file? However, it doesn't exist in the /etc/X11 directory. Does wubi not create this file?
I then created a template of this xorg.conf with the "sudo X -configure" command. I then copied the created file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and editied the Monitor settings. however, I still get the same error even when I put in the HorizSync and VerRefresh settings shown on the Dell webpage (31-80 and 56-76 respectively).

I was on earlier 9.x version of ubuntu with following configuration working perfectly: IBM ThinkPad T60 with ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility X1400 VGA graphics card (found it from lspci) With an external Dell 19" monitor attached to it. I upgraded yesterday to Ubuntu 10.4 LTS and now the Dell monitor screen keeps flickering all the time! I always work with an external bigger monitor attached to my laptop as working for long hours on the smaller screen of the laptop gives me headache. The frustrating point is, this setting was working perfectly until I was on Ubuntu 9.x, I upgraded to 10.04 LTS and this has stopped working.

I am posting this to hear if there are others with display issues on Dell E6500 laptop with the Nvidia Quadro NVS 160 driver. This problem is starting to annoy me a great deal, but I am uncertain how I should move forward. In short; I have Ubuntu 10.04 x64 installed on my Dell E6500 laptop. When using only the laptop, everything works great. The second I plug it into the docking station (the laptop lid closed) and want to use my two external monitors (Dell 2001FP) I'm in trouble. I cant see anything and what I get is a 'DVI: Cannot Display this Mode' on the primary monitor - If i try a regular VGA cable I get nothing but a black screen.
I have played around with the Nvidia config but it cant find my monitors and therefore I cant do much. I am aware of the various "hack the xorg.conf" options, but I before I do that I wanted to see if others had experienced the same thing. I had hoped that we were pasted the hack stage and that primary functions such as display would work by now.

The 14" (pretty sure of the size) LCD monitor is hooked up with "digital input" (not the VGA or whatever). I tend to use the console (i.e. ttyX) more than X windows, and it is extremely slow refreshing. A concrete example is opening a man page, or cat-ing a file go so slow it takes a second or 2 for them to fully display.
Is this a video driver issue? Here are some stats:
Code:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ/P/PL Memory Controller Hub (rev 02)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ/P/PL PCI Express Root Port (rev 02)

Currently I have two 1920x1080 screens running in Twinview on my Geforce 275 graphics card. Want I want to do is a quick simple way of disabling my secondary monitor when playing video games or using xbmc to watch movies, etc. I've tried a few applets but they require the xandr function which I think Nvidia doesn't support.
Is there a way to disable this quickly other than loading up nvidia-settings and disabling the monitor everytime. I don't really want to use two seperate x sessions and xinerama due to the fact you can't use compositing.

I have a dell monitor, E153FPf, with an intel chipset 865G. I just changed from Debian to Open Suse 11.4. In Debian, everything worked fine. However, with Suse, every time I open a new window in Gnome, the screen will flash at about a 1 Hz rate, showing the new window, and then immediately revert to the previously displayed window.
If I change to a different workspace, and then change back again, the display works properly . . . until I open or close a new application window.I made sure YaST2 had the correct refresh and resolution; I downloaded and installed the latest Intel drivers, I enabled the correct horizontal and vertical refresh rates in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-Monitor.conf - all to no avail. I have searched around for answers, but most of the issues seem to be with monitors not working at all - not new or closed applications not refreshing the screen properly.

I'm running OpenSuse 11.1 with a Dell Inspiron 6400. I just bought a Medion Multi-Touchscreen-Monitor cos they were going cheap at the local supermarket. It says the touchscreen works with Windoze 7 only, but I thought its worth a go as I have 30 days to try before taking it back.
The monitor output works fine. I had to adjust the resolution setting but that's okay. However, when I plug in the touchscreen usb lead I've no success yet. I tried all the touchscreen Vendor/Name options in Yast->Hardware->graphics card/monitor but to no avail.
My dmesg output is:

usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
