Bug Description
Dual monitors with both monitors connected via DVI to a dual head nVidia GTS250 card. However, xrandr thinks that the secondary monitor is an HDMI connection:

I get a desktop across both monitors ok with the Nouveau driver, which I am using, but if I switch to the proprietary nVidia driver, I cannot get a display on the secondary monitor.
I also have 10.04 installed on the same machine, and booting into it and running xrandr shows the expected DVI connection for both monitors.
