I have been unable to determine why the ProSavage DDR-K chip returns garbage, and am not inclined to spend any more time investigating this problem. Thus, I set up the S3 driver to look at the EDID version in the EDID data, and if it is 0xff, it assumes that the data is garbage and the data is then ignored.
I think it would be best to fix the EDID code to check the version number, and bail out if it is not known or supported. The EDID code doesn't seem to do any validity checks at all, anyway. Can you change that, or do you prefer I had a look at it?
I will change the EDID code to check for valid data. I will also look into testing the validity of some other data members in addition to the EDID version and revision numbers. 

Best regards,
