This actually now looks like an nvidia driver issue. I installed oneiric, and plugged in a secondary monitor to the display port. I was amazed that it was actually working successfully. I then installed the proprietary nvidia graphics driver through jockey, rebooted and tried again. The secondary display was no longer working. I need to verify this to be the case with precise, as I ran through my whole test pool with the nvidia driver enabled because of an issue with suspend.
