if you set the frequencies right it should work without edid (and without modelines). it's possible you will need modeline though, I don't know the details of your situation...


You sir are my hero! I didn't need the Modeline. All I needed was IgnoreEDID=True and in the monitor section:
    HorizSync   64 - 64
    VertRefresh 60 - 60
which are the numbers the monitor reports in Windows.

It's a flat-panel monitor; 60hz is the "natural" frequency. It only really matters when you are watching Mpegs2; at the "artificial" 75 hz you can see tearing that goes away when you run it at 60hz.

I didn't need to add UseEdidFreqs=False, only the IgnoreEDID=true. I tried changing the HorizSync and VertRefresh without using IgnoreEDID, but it did nothing.

Thank you very much for helping me solve a tough problem.

  glad it helped,

I wonder why would edid info (that comes directly from monitor, as far as I can tell) result in worse settings then what X does based on vert/horiz frequencies.
