Title:
  Blank screen with nvidia drivers on Macbook Pro 5,5 13.3"

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The built-in screen is blank with nvidia drivers enabled on Macbook
  Pro 5,5 13.3" model. The screen does work with the nouveau drivers,
  though they do not work on native resolution. Nvidia drivers do work
  with external monitor when configured with nvidia-xconfig --twinview
  command in cli. The problem seems to be caused by incorrectly read
  EDID information from the monitor as seen in xorg.0.log (full log
  attached):

  The DFP-0 is the internal monitor, DFP-1 is external. nvidia-settings
  shows the max resolution for the internal monitor as 640x480, which
  does not give out any picture at all. Just blank screen with the
  backlight on.
