It appears here as well. I think it was since 2.6.39 or 3.0, I'm not sure.

Same card:

00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset

My kernel log has:

[drm] Driver supports precise vblank timestamp query.
composite sync not supported
fixme: max PWM is zero.
composite sync not supported


Is this "composite sync not supported" related to this issue?
