Looks like an EDID block not accessible by i2c and only available
through the BIOS. And it's probably broken too.

Can you #define DEBUG in drivers/video/fbmon.c, enable
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_EDID, the post your dmesg?

For now, the best you can do is disable i2c support and add:

video=nvidiafb:1600x1200@60

in your boot line.

You know, I disabled Nvidia's DDC stuff and enabled firmware EDID
again and it started working fine, even without
video=nvidiafb:1600x1200MR on the command line that I had for a long
time.

So it works fine now. Would you oppode adding dmi check for inspiron
8100 to automatically disable nvidia i2c support at runtime?
