Hello guys!

First sorry of my bad english.

This problem is fixed in the Xorg xserver 1.4.1 (comming soon).
- "Option" "DDC" "Off" is really not solution
- Displaysize is first part of solution.

Complet solution of this problem is:

xorg-server 1.4.1 + Xrandr 1.2.2+ (and maybe new xf86-video-intel 2.2 driver) and right set xorg.conf

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "LCD 1280x800"
        Option "DPMS" "true"
 VendorName "LPL"
 DisplaySize 338 211 # first part solution
 Option "Monitor-LVDS" "LCD 1280x800 # second part solution <- option for Xrandr (see: man xrandr)
EndSection

I test it for Intel 945GM and works fine
