No, it doesn't. On one of my systems I've got connected a CRT using 
it's BNC connectors, i.e. no DDC signals. So I have to set IgnoreEDID 
and NoDDC to make the driver accept the modes I supply (EDID and DDC 
are also used for validation, but w/o those the nonstandard modes for 
this CRT are not accepted).

However still all the VESA modes up to the maximum capabilities of the 
Monitor show up.

Here's my notebook's xorg.conf
