I understood (incorrectly?) that kernel 2.6.33 will have an option
video=xxx option that would allow to fake the EDID. Now we don't have
2.6.33 in F12, so we may have to wait for F13 to try this. I have a
similar problem here with a video splitter, so I would be quite
interested in a solution myself.....
