Just to stay in sync:
I'll start compiling
linux-3.7.tar.xz of 12/11/12
and report the results.
I suppose "linux-3.7.tar.xz" is actually (in retrospect) linux-3.7.0
but who (in their right mind) would have predicted in those days that there
would ever be a 3.7.1, i.e., a real follow up to 3.7 !!!???
Same for 3.8, etc.
Anyway, we'll talk about those "drm.debug=0x06" later.

> perhaps your monitor's EDID is different than what it [drm_edid.c] expects

I'm far from an expert in EDIDs but the EDID parameters as reported by NVIDIA
in its eld#3.0 and the Xorg log look pretty good (to my untrained eye).
The monitor is relatively new (of this year, I suppose) made by a reputable
manufacturer so they should know their way around what EDIDs must look like.
