You can look at the details with: $ xrandr --verboes | edid-decode The "Detailed timing" are the monitors prefered mode I recall.

I always seem to have 0 length files in /sys for edid. That why I use the xrandr output.
# edid-decode < /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/card0-LVDS-1/edid Extracted contents: [...snip...] Standard timings supported: Detailed mode: Clock 69.300 MHz, 261 mm x 163 mm 1280 1306 1328 1418 hborder 0 800 802 804 814 vborder 0 -hsync -vsync VertFreq: 60 Hz, HorFreq: 48871 Hz [...snip...] Checksum: 0x2 (valid) EDID block does NOT conform to EDID 1.4!

That's the problem - bad EDID.
FYI EDID Structure 1.4 recame a standard in 2006.
