Some news: solution of Joseph S Tate (jtate) from on 2014-06-19 works partly (thanks Joseph!).
These changes allow to use 3.16.0-28 kernel, but during boot on encryption stage (before / is accessible) the resolution is still incorrect, so user has to enter password in blurred screen.

I insist this bug should be called an "unfixed regression", maybe desirable or inevitable, but still a regression:

E.g. user bough a huge monitor which worked perfectly with Windows in the shop, came home and it doesn't work correctly with his favorite Linux distribution with the same DVI-D cable.
And for him it's impossible to make xorg-config, put there ModeLines from Xorg logs or xrandr output and etc. It's a step back to 1990th with all this manual xorg-config stuff.

And even more, this monitor worked perfectly the year before with the same Linux distro, and now it doesn't. For sure it's a regression, isn't it?
