Please post your `emerge -vpq x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau' output in a comment. Given the problem occurs even without X running, I thought it must have been at a lower level; in keeping with the linked post. But if it can be fixed in X, that's just fine in my books. ~ $ emerge -vpq x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau [ebuild R ] x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.16_pre20120305 What happens if you boot with only one output connected? Exactly the same. Content fine on first display, nothing on the second, even when the second monitor is the only one connected. Oddly, I took a look at the Xorg logs under these conditions, and X "talks" to the right monitor, gets EID date back correctly etc, but the screen is just blank. I'm at work at the moment, I'll post the log files when I get home. You could check if the same happens if the same problem exists with x11-base/nouveau-drm package (instead of in-kernel nouveau). If yes, it would be good if you report this bug upstream at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ (if no report already exists) and provide the link here. Exactly the same. Upgraded to the new xf86-video-nouveau and swapped out the in-kernel for the external module, no change. Bug filed upstream as requested, linked here and to the report previously link (seems he has the same card as I do) https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47790 For the sake of those who stumble upon this, the problem persists in 3.3.1. I will watch the upstream bug and attempt to backport any fixes identified. |
