I just performed further tests with a system booted from an USB drive.
The bug happens regardless of architecture, both amd64 and i386 are
affected.
With the nouveau driver I managed to run both monitors with native resolution,
but the external monitor showed graphic errors (see the attached screenshot).
Also, the system was feeling very sluggish with two monitors.
xrandr --query --verbose when using the nouveau driver outputs:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1200, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS-1 connected 1920x1200+0+0 (0x65) normal (normal left inverted right x axis
y axis) 331mm x 207mm
