according to http://www.xfree86.org/~dawes/4.3.0/rendition9.html#9

DDC-probing does not work correctly yet. No DDC information is found.

can you try xfree-4.3.0-r2?

[Comment 3 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2003-06-14 21:00:51 UTC]

Brett?

[Comment 4 Brett Boren 2003-06-18 08:48:35 UTC]

Created attachment 13467 [details]
x output

[Comment 5 Brett Boren 2003-07-08 13:15:51 UTC]

Tried with -r3, same problem as with -r2

[Comment 6 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2003-10-14 18:59:03 UTC]

Could you add Option "NoDDC" to Section "Device" and see if that works around
the problem?

[Comment 7 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2003-11-10 02:33:46 UTC]

Brett, I just added a backport of the CVS rendition driver. Try compiling
-r3 and see how it goes.

Please reopen if you add more info.
