I'm not sure exactly what to say. My screen/PC died on about 23 February. At that time it would not even show BIOS messages. I started to try and understand what was wrong at the end of March. According to a "ls -lrtc /boot" I was probably running 2.6.37-1-amd64 on 23 February. Let me know if you need more information.

I read with interest the report of how to correct a broken EDID. I might give it a go but not before next week.  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34554

Yes, especially as I only have one Benq FP241W.
