Your monitor and the query of its abilities (the EDID reply) works correctly. If you go that URL you’ll see a section “Timing Bitmap”. Note that modes listed on the right are “standard” fallback timings, and the “X” on the left indicates if your monitor supports those standard modes. Other modes may exist. The parse-edid block you ran shows a list of all timings your monitor supports, plus a subset of that list which fall in the standard known timings (this monitor has quite a wide range of modes supported).
Your Jetson should be able to work correctly with this monitor and cable combination.
The current L4T release (from nv_tegra_release) is very old (R19.2 is the very first version used on a JTK1…somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 years ago or more). I can’t promise the display would work better under the current R21.5, but many things were improved, and I would suggest flashing to R21.5 before putting more time into it (it could be video will just work after that).
Note that the “NVIDIA-INSTALLER” step adds nVidia-specific driver support. Without that only text mode would work, and the install would be purely Ubuntu. Once running the NVIDIA-INSTALLER is complete hardware acceleration is added and it then becomes possible for graphics mode to work (this is also a prerequisite to CUDA install). If you choose to flash this step is included in the flash process (if using JetPack this is taken care of, if using command line flash.sh then the apply_binaries.sh step does this…JetPack is a front end for flash and other packages), so I’d recommend flash and see if it boots to graphical mode.
If you flash with JetPack your host must be Ubuntu 14. If you just use the command line flash any desktop type Linux 64-bit host will work. Choosing JetPack also allows some extra package install steps (JetPack merely runs the command line flash.sh followed by rebooting the Jetson and then using networking to install extra packages).
