Comment 10 for bug 467841

Oh men, trying vesa driver and every thing is fine, it reads edid correctly via edid. I had booted in single mode and with i915.modeset=0. I will try booting directly not using kms (i915.modeset=0) and vesa to see how it goes: and it works!
OK Next try: booting normally (no i915.modeset=0) and vesa in xorg.conf: it works also, the only difference being that there is one line in dmesg saying: drm: *ERROR* connectors have no modes, using standard modes.
Basically the vesa driver seems to just go and read edid whereas intel kms driver is trying to be smarter about who is connected or not and for some reason think noone is connected and then xorg is not able to start.
