Hello Peter ,

you can use a CVT to create modelines , its included in my ubuntu install.
or the source can be found here http://www.uruk.org/~erich/projects/cvt/

If there is no EDID returned then that would seem like breakage to me , if
you can find someone who has the same monitor they could dump the EDID for
you and you can instruct your system to use it.

My understanding was that the EDID lets the card know what the monitor can
do , you only need it if you want to auto detect so if you don't have you
need to specifiy what you want and hope the monitor supports it.

Monitor id strings are often totally different from the marketing names as
they can often be the panel name or any other significant third party
compenent.

Cheers
Amias

I did, but it's now a different PC with a different video card (nVidia Quadro NVS 295), and a much newer version of Linux...

I'll have to have a look at home.
