Hello everyone.

I have a VGA cord that does not transmit EDID information, and an LCD
monitor whose native resolution is 1920x1080. Without the EDID info, I
am not allowed to set the resolution appropriately in X.

My graphics card is NVIDIA 9400 GT, and I am using OpenBSD 5.1.

Can someone explain to me how I can override EDID restrictions and set
the full resolution?

Thanks,
Johannes
