When I execute ddcprobe as a user, I get those results.
When ddcprobe is executed as root, 

[root at N7KZZ ~]# ddcprobe

Videocard DDC probe results
Description:  ATI Technologies Inc. V350
Memory (MB):  16

Monitor DDC probe results
ID: DET4001
Name: L19GBN
Horizontal Sync (kHZ): 24-83
Vertical Sync (HZ)  : 55-76
Width (mm): 380
Height(mm): 300


Looks like a permissions problem for ddcprobe.
