regression: GM45 on Dell Latitude E6400 display from 1440x900 to1024x768 somewhere between 2.6.38-git2 and -git7

[Alessandro Suardi]

Fedora 14 x86_64

[   375.231] (II) intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) GM45
[   375.231] (--) intel(0): Chipset: "GM45"

startx yields:

 2.6.38-git2 and earlier: correct 1440x900 display
 2.6.38-git3 through -git6: not tested due to kernel build errors
 2.6.38-git7 through -git14: wrong 1024x768 display with black bands at sides

Once in wrong mode, xrandr --fb 1440x900 --output LVDS1 --mode 1440x900
 helps return the screen to correct display, but:

 - background image is drawn incorrectly (like a 1440x900 correct one with a
    superimposed 1024x768 starting from upper left corner)
 - mplayer in full screen mode does not actually go full screen, but 1024x768

comparative Xorg logs and dmesg output for 2.6.38-git2 and -git14 available
 upon request; lspci -v says:
