I have a laptop. As soon as I connect my external monitor via HDMI,
dmesg provides the following error:

[drm:drm_edid_block_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 254
Raw EDID:

When I connect the external monitor via VGA, it works fine. 
The external monitor also used to work fine via HDMI/DVI quite some time ago. 

xrandr has the following output (the external monitor in connected by
VGA and also by HDMI/DVI):

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1600 x 900, maximum 8192 x 8192

   720x400        70.1  
HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

So I can't even active the monitor by HDMI (xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto
hs no effect).

As anyone found a workaround?

Title:
  Second display not recognized anymore; "EDID checksum is invalid"

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10, the second display is not
  recognized anymore.

  It's an amd64 system with a Radeon HD 5700 graphics card.
  The first display, a Samsung P2250, connected via DVI, is recognized 
flawlessly.
  The second display, a Sony SDM-S51, connected with a VGA cable and a 
VGA-to-DVI-converter, is not recognized anymore.

  dmesg is full of the following message:
  [drm:drm_edid_block_valid] *ERROR* EDID checksum is invalid, remainder is 254
  ...
  radeon 0000:01:00.0: DVI-I-2: EDID block 0 invalid.
  [drm:radeon_dvi_detect] *ERROR* DVI-I-2: probed a monitor but no|invalid EDID

  I verified this bug on a completely new system (clean install, all
  updates). Also reported as #24752 on landscape.canonical.com (" Second
  display not recognized anymore").
