I think the EDID is broken as I got this monitor working with a
specific EDID file:

Sorry no, it only has a dual DVI input, nothing else. (no HDMI)

The laptop only has VGA and DP out unfortunately.

Is there a way I can specify the Intel driver to use another EDID? By
the way, if I connect this display under Windows 7 I would normally
get a BSOD or it's not detected at all.
