A quick search turned up this page: <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/kernel_mode_setting#Forcing_modes_and_EDID">https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/kernel_mode_setting#Forcing_modes_and_EDID</a> which indicates you can load the EDID via the kernel command line so you don't have to compile your own. Note that I believe this is only for in-kernel drivers (nVidia have their own method). It's also possible to get tricky and edit the EDID to incorporate the audio information from your receiver (if necessary), but in my experience that involves byte editing (not insurmountable, but requires some research).<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Karl<br></div></div>
