While testing a ATI Cedar equiped laptop I could not get the EDID for the

the /var/log/Xorg.0.log showed that EDID was detected and hwinfo gives the
monitor manufacturer. Still user space applications needs the complete data
block to configure the monitor.
Can you post your xorg log and dmesg output? There are several possibilities:
They are here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32343#c7
1. Your panel does not provide an EDID. The driver is still able to
determine the native mode timings from tables in the vbios.
This LVDS' EDID looks like being detected by frglx. It might be broken.
On the other side xcmddc shows an external monitors EDID but does not
listen the this LVDS one. xcmddc uses i2c communication. Not sure what
frglx does to see the discussed LVDS EDID.
2. Your EDID has a bad checksum/etc. and the kernel drm EDID validator
rejects it:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31943
You can try the patch on that bug and see if it helps.
kind regards
