What if you don't put any of the HorizSync/VertRefresh ? Does it manage
to pick them up from DDC or not ?

Also, what do you rendering problems look like ? Do they still happen if
you force DRI not to load ? (Try removing the module
from /lib/modules/*) r300 DRI isn't quite ready yet for public
consumption but X.org CVS may still try to use it ... (it will also
cause crashes on wakeup from sleep).
