Although solving the problem at the fb layer level is probably the correct/best way to do it, I am not aware of people having problems with broken EDIDs and non-nVidia cards. By contrast, workarounds for nVidia and broken EDIDs is a very common thing to do even on Windows. Not

Because most users won't even be aware of the module option: they'll just know that their card doesn't work right. This isn't a card problem this is a monitor problem, the card just passes through the edid data from the monitor... or else the programming of the card registers from edid is
