how to ignore monitor's EDID?

[Tomasz Chmielewski]

I have a radeon 9600 card, with two devices connected:

- DVI: LCD monitor, capable of 1280x1024 (preferred mode)
- VGA: LCD projector, capable of 1024x768, (800x600 preferred mode)

Both devices show the same output ("clone" - of course, if the 
resolution is 1280x1024, VGA/LCD projector does not show any output, as 
this device does not support this mode).

The problem is - whenever the LCD projector is powered on as computer 
boots, X starts in 800x600 resolution.
What's worse - it's not possible to change the resolution to 1280x1024; 
xrandr will only switch the resolution up to 1024x768 (maximum supported 
by the VGA monitor).


Is it possible to force the resolution on a device, even if it doesn't 
support it?

My xorg.conf setup for this video card looks like below; "monitor0" is 
the LCD monitor; I don't have any section about the VGA output / LCD 
projector.
