[maverick] dual monitors not configurable

[Ruben Verweij]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

I'm using maverick, in lucid both my monitors were detected automatically using the nouveau driver and I was able to configure the desktop to span across the monitors with metacity compositing enabled. Now I still have the metacity compositing, but the output is the same in both monitors now and under Preferences->Monitors my monitor is reported as unknown with only the resolution 1280x1024 and a refresh rate of 0 Hz. The only rotation available is normal. If there is any more information required, I will provide it.

With the new updates, I am able to configure the monitors correctly again via Preferences->Monitors and all resolutions/frequencies/rotations etc. are configurable again. Thanks!
