"Please note that the NVIDIA 180.51 Linux graphics driver fixed
an interaction problem that resulted in corruption of the internal
flatpanel's EDID on the Fujitsu Technology Solutions Celsius H270
notebook.
"Using earlier NVIDIA Linux drivers on the Celsius H270 notebook
will result in a corrupt EDID, which will persist across reboots.
If you encounter this problem on a Celsius H270 notebook, please
contact Fujitsu Technology Solutions technical support to correct
the EDID.
"NVIDIA and Fujitsu recommend that all Linux Celsius H270
notebook users use NVIDIA Linux graphics drivers 180.51 or later,
and that anyone repackaging a 180.xx NVIDIA Linux graphics driver
upgrade to 180.51."
