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.

i was unaware that a man page for "radeon" even existed but i think i've
already tested these combinations.  i've used False for IgnoreEDID and, as
you point out, the default for DDCMode is false.  so i think i've covered
those possibilities, unless i'm misreading something here.

Is that a typo? You *want* to ignore EDID, don't you? So the value of "Ignore EDID" should be "True" I would assume.
