The resolution is listed - look at Mode 1 and Mode 3.  It is also providing a 
preferred Mode.

Check the line above stating "Will scan through until the first EDID is 
found."  For additional monitor EDID's you'll probably have to specify a 
different I2C bus number.

I recall you were using an adaptor for (some of?) your monitor cables.  
Adaptors can cause Modelines to not be detected at all or not detected fully.  
I should count myself lucky because I have not come across such problems at
