I should have checked the model, it's a huge LCD monitor so the

Ok, never done myself so better if you google about it, but to use the
DVI output i think you need to specify in your XF86Config-4 to use the
secondary output (0000:01:00.1) instead of the primary (0000:01:00.0)
or using the DDC option of X (and maybe you need the read-edid
package) if your monitor is DDC capable.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong.
