<pre>Same Problem here. You can use the following work-around
1. mkdir [KERNEL-FIRMWARE-DIRECTORY]/edid
2. cp [MONITOR-EDID-FILE].bin [KERNEL-FIRMWARE-DIRECTORY]/edid
3. add the following to your Kernel Commandline:
drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=edid/[MONITOR-EDID-FILE].bin
This will provide kms and Friends with correct EDID-Informations. However
to stop the annoying flicker, you have to
4. add another Statement to your Kernel Commandline:
drm_kms_helper.poll=0</pre>
