Monitor on DVI-I not detected

The current driver doesn't detect a CRT monitor that is attached to
DVI-I with a DVI-I to VGA adapter (Port1: Monitor -- NONE). That results
this monitor remaining black if something is connected to the secondary
output, or if MonitorLayout is set to AUTO,CRT.

The strange thing is - it does work with an LCD display, both with DVI-D
(Monitor -- TMDS) and with the DVI-I to VGA adapter (Monitor -- CRT).
In both cases a monitor is detected.  The used CRT is known to behave
well (Vision Master Pro 450), though it is pretty old.

The gfx card is a ATI FireGL V3100 (RV370) 5B64 (PCIE)

Is this a known common issue, or a new one? What can I do to actually
debug this? Increase some usleep() values in RADEONDisplayDDCConnected()?

Thanks

Matthias
