Comment (by ttcoder):

 Hi Rudolf,[[BR]]
 I'm glad you have seen this ticket. I wouldn't consider this an emergency
 unless someone else needs the fix too, as I have the means to tweak and
 recompile your driver from source to improve my situation -- I can wait
 for the 'trunk' workaround and/or fix. My (somewhat pressing) issue now is
 the regression I've outlined in #7787, which clearly cannot be fixed in
 the nVidia driver itself.

 When #7787 is fixed I'll get back to this one (EDID issue), maybe even try
 to contribute what Axel advised, but I might be out of my depth for
 implementing that, we'll see. I also lack the motivation since
 implementing the workaround is much easier :-)

 Cedric (an otherwise happy user of the driver!)
