Reduced Blanking with Xorg 7.1

I have a dell E248WFP monitor and an nvidia geforce2ti.  In xorg 6.9 I 
am able to get the native resolution (1920x1200) working using a custom 
modeline:
 Modeline "1920x1200"  154.128 1920 1968 2000 2080 1200 1203 1209 1235

However, in xorg 7.1 with the same setup and same nvidia binary driver, 
I get the error:
(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "1920x1200" (monitor doesn't support 
reduced blanking)

This is using Slackware 11.0 with xorg 6.9, and Slackware 12.0 with xorg 
7.1.  I am using the 'legacy' binary nvidia driver and my card has VGA 
output (no DVI).

Any hints?  I've tried adding     Option   "ReducedBlanking" "true"
to my Monitor section, but it didn't help.

Thanks.
