Description Ross Burton 2011-09-23 02:04:25 UTC 
We've an downstream bug report on MeeGo where X thinks that the 9" screen on an Acer Aspire One 110 netbook is actually 451mm by 113mm.

I obtained the offending EDID data and using a patched parse-edid discovered that whilst the maximum physical size is reported as 190mm x 110mm, the native (and only) mode has a reported physical size of 451mm x 113mm.

Clearly this calls for the quirk_detailed_use_maximum_size() quirk.

I think I have the detection correct but don't have easy access to an affected machine to test.

parse-edid reports the following:

	Identifier "LGD:7f01"
	VendorName "LGD"
	ModelName "LGD:7f01"

Unmarking as a 1.11 blocker, but I will consider this for 1.11 once it is in master.

Comment 8 Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 2011-10-31 17:16:43 UTC 
Yes, it was sent, reviewed by daniels and myself.  It was never resent to 
keithp with our r-b's for merging into master.  Please send the final version 
with the r-b's to keithp and CC the list, so this can get merged... preferibly 
before beta1 this Friday.
