radeon driver (6.7.191) cannot detect the CRT monitor. Instead, the driver enables LVDS and S-video (which is not connected). VGA-0 output seems disconnected.

Can you attach the output of xrandr as well? Does: xrandr --output S-video --off xrandr --output VGA-0 --off xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 800x600 (or whatever mode you want) work?

It works (I needed to switch to tty1 and then to X back. the issue on #12113) . But the modes listed for VGA-0 belongs to LCD panel. Driver cannot get EDID information from monitor. So I cannot use at 1280x1024 which is supported by monitor. I am sure that monitor does not have any problems with EDID transfer.
The reason for high rates for VGA-0 is that I wrote the Horiz/vert freqs manually to xorg.conf
I think perhaps the bios is lying about the ddc line. Can you try adding this option to your config? Option "ConnectorTable" "5,2,2,1,X,1,2,2" replace X with 1, 2, 3, or 4 and see which one (if any) works for your monitor.
