If you were able to successfully use edid_disable_exts to make something work. Please make a post of it below. I personally used this on a Westinghouse L2410NM.
I've spent several hours (and a couple of dollars) trying to fix this problem under Arch Linux. While the newest Windows 7 drivers seem not to have this issue, the current Nvidia drivers do. I used the Nvidia driver to save the EDID and run your utility upon the file, and after setting up the xorg.conf.d/30-display.conf file to have load the custom EDID I was good to go.
This helped fix the display on a Sceptre X32BV-FullHD 32" 1080P television running Fedora 13.
I decided to use the --todvi command line switch. The TV works quite well on Radeon cards but overscans and looks terrible on Nvidia, whether windows or linux. I even bought one of those hardware EDID memories to sit between computer and monitor but still no luck. Thanks for the link to the nvidia.com forums describing how to do this on Windows, too.
Thanks again for providing this solution and writing some interesting articles too. That TCP over DNS concept is fascinating stuff. You are a 1st class hacker to conceive of tunnelling anything over DNS.
LG L246WP Resounding Success!

Still not working
I did try edid_disable_exts, but without success. I have following in xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-1:/etc/X11/p2370hd-m.edid"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce G210"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Screen 0
EndSection
File does exists and I did not get any errors.
Any ides why?
