 The monitor is connected thru the VGA port, so forcing the LVDS port will
 not help.

 The problem here is the monitor is not sending an EDID for whatever
 reason, so the Monitor section needs to be filed with the appropriate
 missing information : HorizSync, VertRefresh and as the 1920x1080 mode is
 not a standard mode X knows about, a Modeline entry also needs to be
 added. The HorizSync and VertRefresh are probably available in the
 monitor's manual, while the Modeline can be generated with the 'cvt'
 command. For example, 'cvt 1920 1080' or 'cvt -r 1920 1080' if the monitor
 is an LCD monitor (-r is for reduced blanking).
