Title:
  Monitor prefs: poor resolution options when EDID fails

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  If EDID/DDC fails, the resolution options are too restrictive; an
  exhaustive list of resolutions should be available.

  Use case: I run my third monitor through a DisplayPort-->DVI adapter,
  so no EDID information is returned.  I cannot find any way to set the
  correct resolution short of generating an xorg.conf.
