Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I sincerely apologize if this is a duplicate. I didn't see any bug
reports that directly dealt with the "monitor doesn't support reduced
blanking" problem on my specific Intel chipset. I tried the "nomodeline"
kernel boot parameter trick, as I found in another bug report, and I
still was unable to use my laptop's native resolution (1920x1200). I
noticed in the Xorg log that the reduced blanking message appeared next
to the mode I would like to use, which is why I think this may be the
most relevant clue to the problem.

This is a brand new laptop, and I haven't really got a lot invested in
it yet, so I'm currently attempting a dist-upgrade to Lucid to see if
the newer kernel, etc. will solve my problem or not. It would be good to
know if this problem has already been fixed, for the purposes of
assigning importance to this report.

I'd be happy to provide any additional information I can!
