Bug#673669: more info
I booted my laptop from the live CD with the CRT plugged in directly, and while things are better, I'm not sure if everything is OK. I believe the nouveau driver is working, but the available resolution and refresh rates are incomplete. Looking through Xorg.0.log there are several bunches of modelines - not one group has all the correct resolutions, and many appear to be set at 0.0Hz.
Also, the hex EDID seems to have many 00 in it - could be fine, just looks strange.
UPDATE
Just been looking at the EDID extracted from windows (using Phoenix I think). It is different. I will include the two files extracted *.dat *.raw When extracting using this software, it gave a waning about converting data from one version to another. Maybe this is where the differences came from.
