Oh, well if it was so easy to find less crappy hardware ... DDC support is not so much the problem but it being buggy or X doing the wrong thing with it. Notice how e.g. the Panelsize in the example posted differs from the DDC message in the log in the same email. See here e.g., it works with D-SUB but not DVI https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3654 It also works with the nvidia driver, unfortunatly there is none for freebsd/amd64. If you know of a fanless dual DVI graphics adapter that does 1600x1200 for under 100 Euro, i would gladly buy it. Currently it's a Siemens-Fujitsu OEM only nvidia 5200, dual DVI, fanless for 42 Euro, which at least would work if there was a freebsd/amd64 driver from nvidia (though i'd prefer X nv).
