DisplayID support

Hi,

I'm currently running Linux on a computer-on-module board from
Kontron. I recently upgraded the kernel from 2.6.33.3 to 2.6.35.4 and
since that change, Xorg will not detect the LVDS parameters correctly.
The LVDS actually uses the DisplayID format
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayID) to expose it's specification.

I've bisected this "regression" to commit:
61e57a8d72f2336faf39b5d940215cf085e01e6e in the kernel
(http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=61e57a8d72f2336faf39b5d940215cf085e01e6e).

I'm running x-server 1.7.1 with the intel 2.9.1 driver (full Xorg log
attached). Errors are also popping up on Xorg startup:

Anyone knows if this has been addressed in a newer Xorg version? Also,
is there support in the kernel for the DisplayID format?

Regards,

Marc
