Try loading i2c-dev (I2C_CHARDEV); With i2cdump[1] you can read the EDID block, which resides at address 0x50: i2cdump N 0x50 (where N is the bus number) If you are unshure about bus number try with all the available /dev/i2c-* devices (you may want to unload HW monitor drivers first, so you don't poke at random stuff).
