+config FIRMWARE_EDID
+ bool "Enable firmware EDID"
+ default y
+ ---help---
+ This enables access to the EDID transferred from the firmware.
+ On the i386, this is from the Video BIOS. Enable this if DDC/I2C
+ transfers do not work for your driver and if you are using
+ nvidiafb, i810fb or savagefb.
+
+ In general, choosing Y for this option is safe. If you
+ experience extremely long delays while booting before you get
+ something on your display, try setting this to N. Matrox cards in
+ combination with certain motherboards and monitors are known to
+ suffer from this problem.
