yes, read-edid 1.4.1 is broken, it doesn't read my monitor either...
someone else took over maintaining the package and released a version 2.0.0, 
which hasn't made it into ubuntu yet...
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/read-edid/+bug/242043/comments/2

anyway, xorg doesn't call the read-edid tool to find out the monitor's
capabilities, so I don't think that's at fault... however, you might be
on the right path, in the sense that the resolution might be the problem

to set the screen resolution, just call gnome-display-properties...
