OK, I had the same problem, and got an answer off the list.
Unfortunately, I can't remember what it was, but I think it was in my
XF86Config, so this is the only thing I found that looks odd, for what
it's worth. Where my card is defined, I have the following -
Section "Device"
Identifier "gforce2"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "IgnoreEDID" "1"
EndSection
I thought the "IgnoreEDID" "1" was unusual. that may do the trick.
