I have a problem that may or may not be related. I have seen several cases 
where X autoconfig does not work correctly, i.e. you only get 640x480 and have 
to correct it with displayconfig-gtk. Some of these cases were related to 
complete edid failures as described, but I found at least one case where the 
ouput of 'sudo ddcprobe' looks good including edid data, but 'sudo get-edid | 
parse edid' returns nonsense, telling "The EDID data should not be trusted as 
the VBE call failed" and resolutions like 3840x2560. read-edid also complains 
that the monitor always claims there are 32 edid blocks left; the whole 
get-edid thing takes about 10-12s.
Monitor is a Belinea 106055 (CRT) with a 'real' maximum resolution of 
1600x1200, refresh 30-96kHz, vrefresh 50-160Hz.
This is also one of the cases where the 'old' way from Feisty and Gutsy worked, 
whereas the 'hardy' way does not :-(
