I had the same problem. EDID failed, so my computer could only start up
in low graphics mode after telling me that there were not suitable
modes. When I took out the vga switch (konig 4-port manual switch), the
monitor was detected correctly. Apparently, the EDID wire is not
connected in the switch. As a workaround, I now boot without the switch
and connect the switch after booting. I never shut down. I only
hibernate my computer. Updates that require a restart can be annoying
this way, though. I hope this helps someone.
