I already tried to write the good EDID into the monitor but I failed. I 
also tried to do that using i2cset with the same result. I suspect the 
EEPROM is write protected...

I'll give a shot to this program.

That's working!

My monitor now is powered and I can use it.

There's only one minor issue: the nouveau module keeps complaining about 
the wrong EDID received by this monitor. Is there a way to tell the 
driver to stop probing the monitor?

Thanks a lot for the help
