Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to make ubuntu better. We
prefer to have logs and other files attached rather than pasted in,
since it is rather daunting to find what you need in a very long bug
report.

It seems that the problem is that xorg is not able to read the EDID
information even though get-edid does it all right. There are a few
things you can do to help us narrow down the cause of this.

1. Could you disable KMS when you boot ('Esc' on boot to show the Grub menu, 'e' to edit the kernel command line and then add 'nomodeset' after 'quiet splash'). In this case it may or may not be able to read the EDID. In any case, attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of `xrandr --verbose` here (but as attachments, not pasted into a comment).
2. I think it is a little different how the EDID is read on 32-bit and 64-bit systems. If your system is capable of 64-bit (most newer systems are), could you try a LiveCD/LiveUSB with 64-bit (amd64) and see if it makes a difference. Attach the same information as in 1.
