Here is the snippet when connected to the DVI port with the dual link
adapter.   The highest resolution found is 1600x1200, which is what I
attain.

I am confused about what is obtained by probing and what is obtained
from EDID data.

Nevertheless, there is no 2560x1600 mode appearing.

Is this a bug in the Dell EDID data ?  The nvidia-setting application
had the option to open an EDID file, which I did not pursue.

Any and all advice on how to proceed from here, ie exactly what to put
in the xorg.conf file to tell the driver to ignore EDID and probings and
use a modeline directly, will be appreciated.

Kudos to the nouveau people for putting this much information in the log
file. 

Thanks !

BTW, PixClock max 285 MHz is quite a bit less than the maximum pixel
rate for HDMI 1.3, which is probably what the card in the HDX puts out.
