Hi, does anybody knows why I got this message?

$ dmesg

I can only see repeated infinite times:

radeon 0000:01:05.0: DVI-D-1: EDID block 0 invalid.
[drm:radeon_dvi_detect] *ERROR* DVI-D-1: probed a monitor but no|invalid EDID

It appears in my message.log too every 10 seconds:

I tried having my own 10-monitor.conf in xorg but it didn't work

Please, does anybody know how can I fix this?

Thanks in advance

Benzo, could you put those in code blocks? It helps for readability.

This seems to be a problem caused by your monitor, you could try to disable EDID by adding:

Option "IgnoreEDID" "True"
or
Option "UseEDID" "False"

(i can never remember which one it is, so try either)

Sorry for that and thank you for your super fast response!!

Should I try it in the file 10-monitor.conf in xorg? I added both lines in the monitor section of this file but it didn't work. Maybe my file is wrong and it's not helping (mysteriously my white conky color now looks purple).

Also please how do I use code blocks? so I can post my 10-monitor.conf file?
