In fact your monitor includes binary data in its CAPS string (like other
Sony monitors), and as ddccontrol cannot parse it, it assumes no
controls are supported (0.3 behaviour was that if CAPS were unreadable,
all controls are supposed to be supported, but we cannot do this with
generic profiles).

Could you please apply the attached patch, it will very likely fix the
problem.
Then, please send the output of ddccontrol -p -c -d, so I could provide
you a database file working with an unpatched ddccontrol 0.4.1.

Best regards,

Nicolas
