Re: approval_X11R6.8.x requested: [Bug 1490] DDC code confused by EDID V1.3 : [Attachment 1122] Fix

I took the advice given on page 15 of the 
'VESA Enahnced Extended Display Identivication Data 
- Implementation Guide' published by VESA. As far as 
I know it is freely available thry the VESA web site. 
I won't distribute it here.
This states that these bits are undefined.
Since this guide lists some 'best practices' we may 
risk getting wrong data from some displays if we go 
EDID v1.2.

Egbert.
