You could try to force a reduced blanking mode in the kernel command
line like: "video=DVI-I-1:1600x1200RM". But it isn't going to work with
GPU rescaling, the attached patch (on top of the previous one) will make
the kernel detect that, and automatically fall back to panel rescaling.

Unstable? How? What's the problem?
