Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
If EDID/DDC fails, the resolution options are too restrictive; an
exhaustive list of resolutions should be available.
Use case: I run my third monitor through a DisplayPort-->DVI adapter, so
no EDID information is returned. I cannot find any way to set the
correct resolution short of generating an xorg.conf.
