No EDID for VGA

[Jon Cosby]

 I installed a GeForce 8400 GS graphics card to replace an integrated 
 chipset and can't even boot to the live CD (F18) or rescue mode now. It 
 stops with the output

 Raw EDID
 [rows of hex digits all 0]
 Nouveau EI [ DRM] DDC responded, but no EDID for VGA-1

 I have openSUSE installed on this machine, and it runs with no 
 problems. The monitor is an old KDS 17" CRT. Is there any way to get 
 this working?
