I switched from Nvidia to Nouveau driver and I have to say you guys did an amazing job. Thanks a lot. One gripe (aside from slow 3D performance) I have is that it doesn't access the external monitor of that machine. I can enable the external one but it doesn't even recognize that it does get any signal (led does just blink).
I'm going to need a lot more info than you've provided to have any clue about this one. You don't even say *what* card you have! Can you attach your dmesg output while running the nouveau driver, preferably from after you've tried to attach the external display also. Thanks.

Created attachment 39611 [details] Xorg log Don't know why Bugzilla didn't attach the log when I created the bug. Buggy software.
I *think* your problem is probably fixed in nouveau git. It looks like the kernel you're using has a version of nouveau with a display-related regression, that has been fixed for a long time now.
Indeed - I upgraded to 2.6.36 and it's fixed there. Thanks
