That is what I had to do to see anything but a blank screen
(with a CPU usage around 99% to make things more interesting and
the only possibility to login via remote).

It is just 

        Option      "NoDDC"

but I do not think that this matters.  Besides if you were _not_
getting crashes caused by DDC probing, and this depends on your
hardware/firmware, then using this option will not help and possibly
is even counterproductive.
