Bug Description
Doing cert testing on the T420. With the nouveau driver, external VGA and DisplayPort video is non-functional. There is no proprietary nvidia driver available to try with. So, there is effectively no external video on the T420 with Oneiric.

What do you mean by "there is no proprietary driver available"? The nvidia driver in 11.10 should support it.
That said, I can try nouveau on my t420s, should be the same chip.
