Just saw this bug while researching another problem... Reference the question in #17, I recommend to others both the get-edid of package read-edid to get the EDID of a display using the coomand line...

" get-edid > edid1.bin "

...or if they can get gnome to display, using nvidia-settings to generate it (in NVidia XServer Settings > Device > Display > Acquire EDID )

Current problem / limitation) with get-edid is that it will only read the "first" display and not of any multilples beyond that. The author of the read-edid ipackage s working on expanding that. "nvidia-settings" will get the EDID of displays past the first, but needs to be running in gnome to be able to run.
