I *seriously* doubt this commit is responsible. It has nothing even remotely close to any changes that could cause what you're seeing.

You're of course right, Ben, looks like I screwed up the last bisection step. The actual change that introduced the buggy behavior was the previous one, 7f612d87f8b4b1ddbcee04264a93e5af7b9f21c7:

drm/nouveau: use dcb connector table for creating drm connectors
    
This makes this code common to both the nv04 and nv50 paths.
    
For the moment, we keep the previous behaviour with HDMI/eDP connectors
and report them as DVI-D/DP instead.  This will be fixed once the rest
of the code has been fixed to deal with those types.

I refrain from including the 274 lines "git diff" output.

In dmesg I see the following messages:

[    0.896501] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Detected a DVI-I connector
[    0.896543] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Detected a VGA connector
[    0.896570] [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Detected a TV connector

It appears that this bug report has laid dormant for quite a while. Sorry we haven't gotten to it. Since we fix bugs all the time, chances are pretty good that your issue has been fixed with the latest software. Please give it a shot. (Linux kernel 3.10.7, xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9, mesa 9.1.6, or their git versions.) If upgrading to the latest isn't an option for you, your distro's bugzilla is probably the right destination for your bug report.

In an effort to clean up our bug list, we're pre-emptively closing all bugs that haven't seen updates since 2011. If the original issue remains, please make sure to provide fresh info, see http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ for what we need to see, and re-open this one.

Thanks,

The Nouveau Team
