           Summary: EDID modes do not participate in validation for CRT
                    monitor
           Product: xorg
           Version: 7.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Driver/Radeon
        AssignedTo: xorg-driver-ati at lists.x.org
        ReportedBy: henry.zhao at sun.com


In general, radeon driver has its own mode validation process for DFP, LCD
monitors, but it still resorts to xf86ValidateModes() for mode validation for
CRT montiors. In current code, when it calls xf86ValidateModes() for mode 
validation for CRT montiors, it uses default modeline database, without 
taking into consideration of EDID modes even though EDID data may be available.

With the integration of auto-config code into Xorg 7.2, it is possible to
re-organize modeline database for validation to include EDID modes simply
by calling new function xf86SetDDCproperties().
