Is it really a case of needing a "driver," or is it just that we need a
way to supply new EDID info to the system?  There are EDID editors.

In most cases, you just need to set information like pixel dimensions,
screen dimensions, and clock rate, to get the graphics chipset to
output the right things.  It's not like you're also remote controlling
the buttons that a monitor might have (well, not usually).
