Bug Description

Server segfaults on start. First failure mode:

In the DDC output, DDC type for the secondary head contains garbage. The code
then proceeds, finally printing

"RADEON(0): BIOS provided dividers will be used."

and then gets a signal 11. Commenting out the ddc module gives

"RADEON(0): XAAInit Error"

and then gets a signal 11.
