Because most users won't even be aware of the module option: they'll just
know that their card doesn't work right.
This isn't a card problem this is a monitor problem, the card just
passes through the edid data from the monitor... or else the
programming of the card registers from edid is wrong..
In which case the same problem would occur with different video cards, so
this patch should be some generic thing, available to all drivers, no?
It should be in the fb layer not card specific.. as it may happen on any card...
