Please provide the output of:
i2cdetect 1
i2cdetect 2
i2cdetect 3

Either there is no EDID EEPROM connected at all (some monitors don't
have them, in particular older models) or it has a format different
from what the scripts expect.

If anything shows up at 0x50 with i2cdetect, please provide a dump
using i2cdump (rmmod eeprom first.)
