(In reply to Thierry Vignaud from comment #3) > @Guillaume: how to workaround this: We shouldn't work around it, we need to fix VBE, as vbetool is also broken with LRMI problems, as I reported in Bug 3910.
No need to add me to this kind of reports, I don't have any specific knowledge about retrieving EDID information, just about decoding it.
