Description cezdhzez 2018-09-03 16:12:43 UTC
Card: Nvidia NVS295 with 2 DisplayPort connectors.

Problem: nouveau is spamming the kernel message, that it cant find the EDID of not connected ports. Of course it cant, because there is no monitor connected to that port.

When i connect the monitor to DisplayPort number 1, it writes, that it cant find EDID on DisplayPort number 2. When i connect it to DisplayPort 2, it writes that it cant find EDID of Display Port 1.

Linux kernel version: Kernel 4.19RC2 (its also there on older kernels)

Output when connected to DisplayPort 2 on kernel 4.19RC2 :

Should be fixed by:

Ben -- probably worth backporting...
