Please attach dmesg from the failing kernel. It appears that the nouveau kernel module is not loaded (or its load failed somehow). As a result, you're using VESA which has no concept of any of the card's post-1990 features. Created attachment 97853 [details]
dmesg
I see no messages related to nouveau in your dmesg. That means that either the kernel module is not installed, or it is blacklisted by something. In any case, I don't see any nouveau-related issues. Just a system configuration one. Perhaps you installed the nvidia proprietary driver? That tends to wipe nouveau one way or another (e.g. a blacklist entry in your modprobe configs). I originally had the NVIDIA driver installed and when I got my second monitor I uninstalled the NVIDIA driver and installed nouveau. I then modified my xorg.conf to Section "Device" Identifier "n" Driver "nouveau" EndSection and everything worked fine. But when installed 3.11.0-20 it stopped working. I checked my blacklist.conf and I only haev the following items in it blacklist evbug blacklist usbmouse blacklist usbkbd blacklist eepro100 blacklist de4x5 blacklist eth1394 blacklist snd_intel8x0m blacklist snd_aw2 blacklist i2c_i801 blacklist prism54 blacklist bcm43xx blacklist garmin_gps blacklist asus_acpi blacklist snd_pcsp blacklist pcspkr blacklist amd76x_edac Is there somewhere I can check to see if something got miss configured? Try shutting down X, then running modprobe nouveau and then starting X again. (Doing this while X is running is highly unadvised.) You might also ask your distribution provider. Perhaps they packaged the kernel wrong, dunno. Created attachment 97859 [details]

dmesg - 3.11.0-19 (Second Monitor Working)
I attached my Xorg.0.log and dmesg for 3.11.0-19 just in case it helps ID a probable cause. I will stop X and modprobe and will put my outcome. In your 'working' case, you're using the proprietary driver: [ 29.885032] nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.

I ran the modprobe and I got. libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c: 791 kmod_module_insert_module: could not find module by name='off' ERROR: could not insert 'off': Function not implemented. I uninstalled (or at least assumed it was uninstalled after running the the bin's remove option) so I wonder why it' still showing. I will double check with my package manager to see if the script missed something. As for not having GeForce 9800 GTX, I do have that card install I wonder why it's detecting it as GTX 650 (I wonder if they have the same chipset). Sorry my card is GeForce 9800 GX2 not 9800 GTX. eagle_boy@rocketmail.com, given you are using a downstream version, and have made non-default configuration changes, it will help immensely if you filed a new report with the Ubuntu repository kernel (not mainline/upstream) via a terminal: ubuntu-bug linux Please feel free to subscribe me to it.

Created attachment 97852 [details] Xorg.0.log When I updated to kernel 3.11.0-20 my second monitor stop working. I looked at the display manager and it only show one Display available and it's setup to default vesa settings. I restarted my box using kernel 3.11.0-19 it all works fine. I don't know if a change in the kernel was the reason why my monitor stopped working of if it was a change in the drivers that happend at the same time the kernel was updated. I looked in the Xorg.0.log file and the only errors I found are the following: -- [drm] KMS not enabled -- No devices detected. -- NVIDIA: Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module. Please check your NVIDIA: system's kernel log for additional error messages. -- open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory -- Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found) My Specs: -- X.Org X Server 1.14.5 -- Operating System: Linux 3.2.0-37-generic x86_64 Ubuntu ** 3.11.0-20-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 1 20:40:25 UTC 2014 x86_64 -- xorg-server 2:1.14.5-1ubuntu2~saucy1 -- Module nouveau: 1.14.5, module version = 1.0.10 ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 14.1 -- Module nvidia: 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0 Module class: X.Org Video Driver -- Video Card: GeForce 9800 GTX -- CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6400+ -- Memory: 12 Gb
