From my experience there are a *lot* of monitors out there with a strange understanding of the EDID standard. But if that fails linux will do a lot of guesswork to get it right, or you would have to manually fiddle with it. EDID is also one of the many standards that I have written that contradict themselves on the *same* page several times... And it is behind the big scary NDA wall so one cannot verify any of my claims of course...
