Jerone, I share your emotions about fixing this bug, because I''ve seen a lot of instances of ubuntu showing the wrong resolution for both CRT and LCD displays. Other debian based linux distributions (such as knoppix) actually used get-edit|parse-edid to generate X configuration Monitor section, which seems to be better way to generate it than ddprobe, since it uses the monitors own information about the recommended resolution.
Current Xorg server (I'm using git version, but i guess 1.3 also works) has functionality for getting edid info by itself. It works for me if don't enter any monitor specific information in the Xorg.conf monitor section, so that it looks like this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Generic Monitor"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
If it doesn't work, it may be that your monitor is sending data with an invalid DDC checksum, but otherwise correct. If it doesn't work, please send the output from the get-edid command (this is in the read-edid package) to xorg list and to this bug. get-edit > SM243T.edid, because we're trying to work out how to deal with bad checksum, but otherwise good edid info.
