The nvidia driver has an option that makes it ignore the EDID (see: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/171.06.01/README/appendix-b.html for the option Option "UseEDID" "boolean").

I am not a xorg.conf expert (far from it) but there should be a way to teach / tell the nvidia driver to ignore the display edid (nv knows how to use it and the gutsy nvidia driver did so, too) without (!) losing the edid for external displays like beamers.

Can somebody help?
