If it used to work and doesn't now, it's probably not an EDID problem in the monitor. Wouldn't hurt to be sure though.
One other thought -- sometimes monitors come with software to override the hardware supplied EDID information. When the monitor was previously working had you installed software from the monitor vendor?
Nah, I just plugged it in via DVI and it detected the native resolution just fine. Also, there is no software available from the vendor. That was obviously the first thing I looked for.
Is there some kind of "universal" driver I can try for a sketchy 1440x900 monitor?
If the EDID is correct, which it sounds like it is, based on the resolution once working, there is no need for any driver software.
A device like my Gefen can emulate almost any EDID. And I have googled discussions about how to create and install a driver to override an EDID. Microsoft has some information on how to do it. But this is not something I have tried.
I assume the video card and driver version were the same as when the resolution was previously working?
