ProbeDDC should only be called when (flags & PROBE_DETECT) which then
immediately returns TRUE from PreInit.  This should only be during 
a -configure run.

DoDDC is only called during a normal run.  Are you saying that you have
confirmed that both are running during a normal run?  If so, then
thats very broken.

xf86-video-intel also uses (flags & PROBE_DETECT) as a gate to
ProbeDDC, so it must work on some systems - did I misspell something?
