From 59153f7d7effdb5b3c81eb6d03914a866157b319 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Antonino A. Daplas" Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 01:17:29 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fbdev: Make BIOS EDID reading configurable DDC reading via the Video BIOS may take several tens of seconds with some combination of display cards and monitors. Make this option configurable. It defaults to `y' to minimise disruption.
