My bad, overlooked it since Stuart uses nouveau. However, it might be related nonetheless (and might be a completely different issue as well). Did your monitor fail right after an upgrade? Anyway, I'd be really interested to hear from Stuart Pook: his story sounds exactly like mine. > And at least in my case, my card was working with a 2.6.38 kernel without > problems, except I am missing something here. Your case sounds similar, though. If the bug is the same, you can easily (even more easily since you have an identical screen working just fine) fix your screen, using the method mentioned on fdo. But I'm no expert, and since this method tempers with your hardware, I'd recommend you to be cautious.
