no, this is not expected. this hints at some issue with the i2c
controller code that is supposed to read the edid over the aux
channel.

the fix would be to fix that code so it read edid consistently.

on some intel cards, the i2c stuff doesnt work at all. in this
case, you can copy the monitor information into vgadb and tell
it to use that info directly, skipping the i2c part.
