You have been subscribed to a public bug: When I enable the nouveau driver for my NVIDIA 9600GT, the second monitor is always blank (and turned off in power saving mode). The desktop is there, I can move windows/mouse pointer off the primary screen. xrandr output also looks correct for dual monitor configuration.
