What graphic card do you have? And out "of the box" can't be true for 3d-graphics. If you have an nvidia-chip use http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/installation.html This way you install the nvidia drivers for 3d-hardware acceleration. The IgnoreEDID-Setting was just avoid some problems of the xserver with poor lc-displays.
