Nope. Only when using fglrx the modes are listed, with the free radeon
driver they are not. I never thought a mature video driver like
"radeon" would ignore the CEA EDID.

OK, thanks. I have now set a custom modeline in my xorg.conf.d directory:

> Modeline    "1920x1080" 74.25   1920 2558 2602 2750 1080 1084 1089 1125 +hsync +vsync

With this manual configuration HD movies run smoothly.
