This is a workaround I found on a Google Groups thread by Raj Kiran
Grandhi [1]...

<snip>
You can get around this by saving the edid data from the monitor to a 
file and load the file at X startup instead of querying the monitor 
every time. Run nvidia-settings, select your monitor and "Acquire EDID". 
Save the edid to some file. Then under the "Device" section of your 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file, add the line:

Option          "CustomEDID"    "CRT-0:/root/edid.bin"

assuming your monitor is called CRT-0 and you have saved the edid file 
at /root/edid.bin.
</snip>

I can confirm that this works for me and I have a very similar setup to
the bug poster.
