I want to force my native display resolution of 1920x1080 although no EDID information is available.
My desktop is hooked up to a VGA switch and is therefore unable to query the EDID (it works fine without the switch). All attempts to force X to use the native resolution failed. The resolution always drops to the nvidia-auto-select which selects a mode from the predefined mode pool. Custom modes are ignored without any error. I also tried UseEDID instead of ÌgnoreEDID in the device and screen section. I'm using a nvidia 430 with the nvidia driver. Below is my xorg.conf
Section "Monitor"

Here is the xlog with the switch. I also tried another switch with the same result.
