Hi Nicolay,

I opened a new thread - my HDMI problems was unrelated to yours (and
your problem is solved).

I am wondering: It seems I am the only one with fixed 640x480
resolution on unpatched freescale kernel.

For me to understand more: Could you enter the following on device's
console with one working environment and monitor connected during
boot:

for f in `find /sys -name edid`; do echo $f; cat $f; done

and send me the result. This would help me much to understand why I
need the patches attached in earlier email and you don't need them.

Thanks

Andreas
