Xorg 7.4, nvidia, EDID, resolution problem [SOLVED]

My Onboard 6100 nvidia, my monitor, or whatever didn't like the new xorg or vice versa.
Prob: EDID couldn't be gathered from SyncMaster 913v.
I extracted EDID with this tool for win: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Phoenix_1_3.zip (it wouldnt work in wine for me but i guess it would in a vm)
You can try with http://john.fremlin.de/programs/linux/read-edid/ (gcc3)
and copied it to /etc/X11/

The only thing left to fix in xorg.conf is:

Section "Files"
#   RgbPath         "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
...

Section "Device"
    Option         "CustomEDID" "CRT-0:/etc/X11/samsungedid.dat"

...
Section "Screen"
    Option "UseEDID" "False"

BTW: new xorg works flawlessly on my other rig with 8800gt with the same nvidia driver...

my xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "X.org Configured"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
