Hi Ivan

The problem you are having is because there is no (known) encoder attached to the DVI connector - see "Off-chip encoder 2/1 unsupported"

Can you please try nouveau git [1] - I'm not too sure if it will help but it's worth a shot

Cheers
Emil

I echo what I said and it seems to work, although it grabs the resolution of external monitor otherwise all ok.
thanks for the help
