Hi,

booting 2.6.36-rc2-git4 (commit
d4348c678977c7093438bbbf2067c49396ae941b) results in a screen
resolution of 1024x768 instead of 1680x1050.  It works fine with
2.6.35.2.

The framebuffer console uses the correct resolution, but only uses a
part of the screen for text output. Xorg output looks distorted.

Xorg log is attached.

$ xrandr 
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 4096 x 4096

This is a Mac mini Core 2 Duo with Intel i945 graphics.

There is no TV connected, and it was correctly reported as
"disconnected" with 2.6.35.

The Mac mini has some special EDID handling, as the EDID data comes
from the analog EDID channel IIRC, if that helps.

Maybe. I don't know if this is connected, but after disabling TV out
using the attached patch, the screen has no signal after suspend to
RAM. However, the patch helped to get back the native LCD resolution
after boot.
