(II) GEODE(0): I2C bus "CS5536 DDC BUS" initialized.
(II) GEODE(0): I2C device "CS5536 DDC BUS:ddc2" registered at address 0xA0.
(II) GEODE(0): I2C device "CS5536 DDC BUS:ddc2" removed.

That shows that the DDC code ran - but you didn't actually get any EDID
information from your monitor, either because your monitor doesn't support
it, or the BSD implementation of libddc is flawed in some way.  

Your log shows that you are setting up a panel, so the third possiblity is
that you have a TFT panel, which doesn't use EDID,.
