I have attached output from get-edid for my HPvs17x monitor as requested.
Since getting this problem with Dapper (Bug #68905), I have upgraded to Edgy. With Edgy I experienced a similar problem. During the boot sequence the monitor complained about the settings it was given (it asks for 1280x1024 @ 60Hz) and did not display the splash screen. I cured it by adding vga=791 to the defoptions in grub. Note, this was not a problem with Dapper.
