Okay. Patch attached. You may want to #define DEBUG in
drivers/video/fbmon.c so we can appreciate what happens. Load nvidiafb
with DEBUG defined before and after applying the patch, then send your
'dmesg'.

fbdev: Add Ultrasharp UXGA to broken monitor database
From: <>
This particular monitor does not have a limits block and has only one set of
monitor timings. Fix by adding a limits block to the EDID and extend the
horizontal sync frequency range to 30 kHz and 75 Khz.
