Thx, I tested it at work first on 24" Dell 1920x1200 and it seems that EDID is OK, native resolution and phys. dimensions reported correctly. Nvidia VBE offers me also the native res. 1920x1200.

Except the "Max Pixel Clock : 830 MHz" seems to me very unreal as VGA ramdac usually end up at about 300-400MHz. Maybe it should be rather 83,0MHz, isn't?

I tested it too but it has some problem with VBE call and it hang the system so I had to make screenshot by cheapo nokia.
