after updating to xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.16_pre20101130 (up from xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.16_pre20101010) my dual monitor setup (laptop display + external LCD monitor) quit working. The previous version was working without issues. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot laptop with external LCD monitor attached; at this point both displays are working in mirror mode and using a resolution that is supported by both (but is not native to either of them) 2. run the usual xrandr commands to switch each display to it's native resolution and to "move" the external monitor rightof the laptop's one 3. Actual Results: - changing resolution to the laptop display (primary) succedes, but corrupts the secondary display - changing the resolution or moving the external monitor right of the primary one makes X "freeze" - nothing is updated, the image is simply still, no more cursor or interaction with X is possible; switching to the console works, and changing back to X gives severely corrupted display on both monitors, some sort of stair-case effect. Restarting X also works (from the console), but that doesn't make xrandr issues go away. Let me mention that doing it using gnome-display-manager ends up the same way. Expected Results: changing the resolutions and moving the displays to their usual positions works, and then once can start using the laptop as is normally does.

Do you have the same problem if you configure a static monitor layout in xorg.conf, as described in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml#doc_chap4_sect2 ?

current nouveau driver(0.0.16_pre20110323) works again in the dual monitor setup. As far as I'm concerned, the bug can be closed.
