not so strange really, and dismissable, if the monitor works.
it just says that the monitor does not post information about itself (edid)

ok and why is it flooding my terminal with this "error".
It's kind of hard to work in the terminal if the error is posted every 10 sec.

Sounds like your monitor has a broken EDID. What monitor you have?

are you using fglrx?

to wpork around this, you could try a xorg.conf stanza like:
      Code:
Section "Screen"
   Option         "IgnoreEDID" "true"
EndSection

@devil: The Radeon X2100 is a legacy ATI card (no longer supported by fglrx/Catalyst)

@OP: Just be glad that your DVI still works. My EDID went corrupt and tool out my DVI. Unfortunately, no free program exists to write EDID.

This is a myth, see e.g. https://github.com/tomka/write-edid
