Xrandr 1.2 hasn't propagated to testing yet.
Debian/testing never was a good choice for laptops. I have been running Debian/unstable since my first laptop (some time around 2002), and even though I usually upgrade it daily I had only one case of major breakage.
In this specific case of a ThinkPad laptop, thinkwiki.org is the site to refer to, preferrably before you buy a laptop, so that you can be sure that all your bells and whistles will work with free drivers.
