I'm not talking about ignoring broken EDIDs, but about actually fixing them[1].
This is clearly not my problem. I have two monitors, both the same brand and model. One is connected to the VGA output and the other one on the DVI. No matter wich one I plug into the DVI port, it detetcts the EDID worngly, while the VGA does it correctly.
Or the VGA port is ignoring broken edids even without the "forget broken edids" patch, or somehow the DVI port is getting wrong edids, or checksumming them wrongly.
You might try the patch here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27708#c7
If you are using a DVI or HDMI port, some TV's don't properly update their checksums for different ports if they have minor edid changes for the port. Also, some hdmi receivers/switches mangle the edids.
