For the record, many older monitors (my desktop monitor at work is about
3 years old) appear not to do EDID at all. 

If it does do EDID properly, then you have to make sure that, at boot

booting, and the monitor is powered on.

Even that doesn't work (at least for me), unless I also use the
"nomodeset" kernel boot parameter.
