Rebooted? What for?
What graphic card do you have? And out "of the box" can't be true for
3d-graphics. If you have an nvidia-chip use
http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html
This way you install the nvidia drivers for 3d-hardware acceleration.
The IgnoreEDID-Setting was just avoid some problems of the xserver with
poor lc-displays.
Kind regards, Paul
