Not if you actively disable detection!

Why would you want to be able to disable detection?  Well, your BIOS
might be buggy.


That is because 2.6.20.11 incorrectly disabled EDID detection when a
non-VESA mode was chosen as the initial mode.  This is a bug.


You're complaining that we didn't query EDID when you *explicitly* asked
us not to.  This is not a bug!
