Seems like these statements:

Not using default mode "some_resolution" (exceeds panel dimensions)
Not using default mode "some_resolution" (monitor doesn't support reduced blanking)

are causing the issue and thanks for checking this against the latest kernel, that saves me the trouble of asking you to do so :) I wonder if this is causing the tearing on the screenshot. Alright so I have a "silly" solution that might just work: For your monitor connection try the VGA port instead of DVI, here [1] it seems to work but its a different card though.

In addition to that, paste back the output of xrandr, this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/396171 seems to have problems related to the screen refresh rate.
