So now what do I do?

Changing the monitor def to "generic lcd 1280x1024" in
system-config-display doesn't help.

I wouldn't expect it to.  That's just a an arbitrary naming field, it
has no impact at all on anything.


Is there a workaround?  Is there a way to directly query the EDID?  Is
there a permanent fix?

The driver already is querying the EDID, which is why its determining
that the mode is bigger than the display.


And is there a way to view virtual consoles on digital out?

Do you see them before the OS starts booting (like during POST)?
