EDID autodetection fail, whom to blame?

Hello
Some of the newer Sony Vaio laptops with Nvidia GPUs show a totally black
screen when X starts with the propiatery drivers. A workaround is to dump
the EDID of the LCD panel into a file and use an xorg.conf file to force X
to use custom EDID. This time, system console(the one you reach via
ctrl+alt-f<1-6>) go blank.
Nouveau works without problems.
What would be the proper solution to this problem? Is it a fault correctable
by Xorg or are Nvidia people to be contacted to resolve this?
Regards
