It seems some code is doing probe via I2C. Maybe some I2C need to set
for it.

To follow up on my own message, I have traced the problem down to the
xf86DoEDID_DDC2 function in X11, which lives in hw/xfree86/ddc/xf86DDC.c
in
the xorg source tree.
If I disable DDC2 in my xorg.conf file like this:
Section "Device"
...
Option "NoDDC2"
...
EndSection
the delay is gone.
So - is this a driver issue, or a LinuxBIOS issue?
Thanks,
Ward.
