With direct VBE BIOS calls, e.g. with this:
http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/monitor-edid/

monitor-get-edid -v --try-in-console --max-vbe-port 6 > edid.bin
(or --vbe-port X if multiple monitors)

or directly with the C tool (X=0..6):
monitor-get-edid-using-vbe -v --try-in-console --port X > edid.bin

However, I don't know if fglrx interferes with it (I know nvidia
proprietary driver doesn't/didn't).
