OK, this works to detect the correct monitor on DVI-I, either with a DVI
cable or a VGA cable (plus adapter). So yes, this seems to fix the EDID
detection problem.

In the version I'm trying (1:6.7.192-4), radeon detects two monitor
ports: DVI-I and S-Video. Is that the intended way? Previous versions
detected 3 ports

I still have the problem that the version from unstable (1:6.7.192-4)
hangs just after validating the modes, eating all CPU.

Unfortunately the ConnectorTable option is not supported in 1:6.6.193-3,
so I can't verify if the EDID fix makes radeon choose a correct mode in
the absence of UseFBDev option.

So, anything about the hang that I can try?

Thanks, and cheers

Michel
