More info: -Background: All cables work, including the GPU and the monitor
The Nouveau driver cannot retrieve the EDID when starting if the transmission is via a 15-pin VGA cable. However, retrieving the EDID information works via a 14-pin VGA cable. There is a "shadow" with white text so that white text is displayed again in a weaker light about 30-40 pixels away. This does not happen under other operating systems.
The -5V line is missing with 14-pin VGA cables.

Under an old linux mint the 15 line vga cable works just fine -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
