But the experimental branch will not bring you anything over the 
release. It is actually a bit behind trunk/release, but has libpciaccess 
support added and I do not believe this is the problem you are having.

Alternatively, the attached patch backports experimental branch 
libpciaccess changes and applies to 0.2.901.

It was recognized, but was it used ? You forgot to actually attach the log.

ah, yes. Add Option "ReducedAllowed" "TRUE" to the monitor section. 
Assuming this is a flat panel that allows reduced blanking, but they all 
do afaik.
