For those still having this problem, please file a NEW BUG against xorg-server on it. Include both your /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and the output of `sudo get-edid | parse-edid` (you'll need to install the read-edid package for this).

The problem here is that there is a _hardware_ bug in the monitor - it lies about its capabilities. So each case has to be handled on a case-by-case basis by 'quirking' the xserver to enable the appropriate workaround for that specific piece of hardware.

Since we have to handle each individual problem on a case-by-case basis, it is much easier to do this with separate bug reports, rather than this big one (which is getting hard to follow and keep track of who all is still having problems, and no doubt spamming people for whom the problem is long since solved. *grin*)

@Samuel, I was able to get the necessary info to compose a quirk from your Xorg.0.log, so no need for you to file a new bug.

@puccha, unfortunately your Xorg.0.log did not have detailed EDID info listed so I don't know which quirk to use for you. Please file a NEW bug and attach the info I mentioned above.
