Robert,
Have you read "man radeon" at all? In the "man radeon" on a handy gentoo
system it says:
Option "IgnoreEDID" "boolean"
Do not use EDID data for mode validation, but DDC is still
used for monitor detection. This is different from NoDDC
option. The default value is off.
Option "DDCMode" "boolean"
Force to use the modes queried from the connected monitor. The
default is off.
I see that "NoDDC" and "DDCMode" appear to be spelt differently, but
neither is spelt "DDC" unless the X server treats "NoDDC" as a synonym
for "DDC" "False" per Alan's suggestion.
Cheers,
