The driver has been significantly refactored since 6.6.3.

lets not confuse issues here. bug 10772 was about a segfault in the blanking
code, not about monitor detection problems.  the fix from 10772 has nothing to
do with monitor detection.  As I said in the previous comment, I'm pretty sure
I know why this is happening, as such we can work on getting it fixed.

Right.  Either your bios connector table is wrong, or we need to add a quirk
for your card.  Can you send me (alexdeucher AT gmail DOT com) a copy of your
video bios?

As root:
cd /sys/bus/pci/devices/<card_pci_id>
echo 1 > rom
cat rom /tmp/rom
echo 0 > rom

You can find the card's pci id by looking at the output of lspci.
