I confirm this bug too. I have a 1080p ViewSonic VG2436wm-LED monitor, and a Lenovo ThinkVision monitor. The ViewSonic monitor is hooked up VGA, and the Lenovo is hooked up with a DVI adapter off a VGA cable. I cannot for the life of me get Elementary OS to work with the DVI hookup. I started with the Nouveu drivers, tried the NVIDIA 331 proprietary driver, and even tried a legacy NVIDIA driver that was suggested in some other posts when I did a search. When I go to display, the monitor is there, but if I try to activate it, the settings panel freezes and then disappears after about a minute. It simply will not use that monitor. If I switch the DVI adapter to the other monitor, it won't use that one. Seems to be a DVI issue. I have a Lenovo T430s that uses an Intel and NVIDIA chipset for the graphics.
I do not have this issue in Windows, or any other linux distribution. This seems to be a Elementary OS issue only. And unfortunately I cannot use Elementary if it does not have dual monitor support with DVI.
