That was the only way, since DDC seems to be broken via DVI.

Thank you for the explanation; I did not know the input
specification is inside the scope of the EDID info.

I could probably do that, but if the user has to to this manually each time
to drive a DVI monitor using an analog-originated CustomEDID,
then this is way harder then it should be.
(This would kind of defeat the purpose of the CustomEDID option.)

Therefore, I have extended the syntax of the CustomEDID option to accept
commands after the EDID file name, and implemented one command ("digital")
to override this information in the EDID.

Then I have modified my  xorg.conf, so now it says this:

    Option    "CustomEDID"    "DVI-1:/etc/Samsung_214T.edid:digital"

According to the X log, this works as expected (the analog note disappeared)
 - but the display still stays blank.

Do you have any idea what am I doing wrong?
I am attaching the patch and the X log.

Thank you for your help, again:
