Thanks for testing.

No, the difference (address of vga Bios) is not a problem, that's quite expected actually (don't ask, and just don't dare to look at libx86 *how* it handles graphic bios calls, you might be frightened *g*...).

What I'm quite failing to understand is the original bug description. I might be wrong, but I doubt that dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg has anything to do with read-edid (as read-edid is universe... so it can't be automatically available for xserver).

However with jaunty's X, which can very well read the edid on its own and which to my knowledge uses autotedection in most cases, I see no risk in updating read-edid.

ACK #2 from me (Scott, unless you oppose to it).
