For memory, the 3.1 kernel was installed before and didn't work.
I finally compiled and installed a 3.4 kernel, and this time, it
doesn't even detect when a new screen is plugged in.

AFAIKS, the issue with the driver so far is that it is unable to
detect screens either because it calculate a false CRC with the
plugged screen (kernel 3.2 behavior), or simply can't find any screen
attached to a port (3.1 and 3.4 kernel behavior).

Attached dmesg for the 3.4 kernel.

Best regards,

Stéphane Louise
