Robert,
Have you read man radeon at all? In the man radeon on a handy gentoo
system it says:
Option IgnoreEDID boolean
Do not use EDID data for mode validation, but DDC is still
used for monitor

Try using fglrx instead of radeon driver. It has much better support
for recognizing bad EDID. At least it works
properly on my external monitor (while radeon and radeonhd
fuck up the resolution)
ok, but keep in mind we're not talking about bad

the contents of the X log file suggest that EDID processing is
