Oops. I neglected to preface this with my motivation: I have a new monitor that doesn't report its native resolution in its EDID block. It seemed to me this calls for an EDID quirk, but the current quirk infrastructure doesn't allow explicitly creating new modes. So I set out to make a simple enhancement to allow specifying a new mode and then setting it as preferred.
That's odd. Maybe it's actually in an extension block or something like that?
Yeah, I agree. According to edid-decode /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/edid there's one extension block, but none of those modes are the native resolution either.
Hm, we only recently added support for E-EDID (i.e. more than 1 extension block). Have you checked whether latest kernels fare better? -Daniel
