OK - so you tried the kgicon_mtrr parameter as Andy suggested.
That's explains, why no errors are there.

Nothing more? What about
- max. resolution
- max. active display area
- input Signal
?
If I am unclear for you, here is what my manual says:
Vendor EIZO
Type FlexScan F56
CRT dot pitch 0.26mm
CRT size 45 cm (17 inch) class
90 degree deflection FS type
Scan Frequency
Horizontal: 27kHz - 86kHz (Automatic)
Vertical: 50Hz - 160 Hz (Automatic)
Max. Active Display Area 319mm (H) x 239mm (V) (Diagonal: 398mm)
Max. Resolution 1280 dots x 1024 lines at 75Hz
Input Signal:
Sync - H/V Seperate, TTL, Positive/Signal
- H/V Composite, TTL, Positive/Signal
- H/V Composite, Sync on Green 0.3 Vp-p, Negative
Video - RGB Seperate, Analog 0.7 Vp-p/75 Ohm, Positive
- RGB Seperate, Analog plus Composite Sync on Green

Can't say that sure, see above.
