Is there a specific version I should test? I see 3.11-rc5 mentioned, but 3.11.0-1-generic was installed as an update when I did a dist-upgrade earlier today, and the bug is still present there. Given that, I would also expect the bug to be present in upstream 3.11-rc5.

Also, this is not trivial to test. The machine is mounted in a rack, with little space to access the DVI ports, and it's a production use workstation PC. Every time I test this, I have to stop any work I may be doing, power off the machine, wedge myself in to be able to adjust the cables, and on occasion have to muck about in BIOS so that the right driver is used (internal vs. nvidia pcie), reboot with whatever kernel, and then muck about in settings to see if it triggers everything. It's not a test system I can just upgrade, reboot, and check new kernels at will. So unless there is some specific set of changes in a new kernel which points to the possibility of the issue being fixed, I'd prefer not to waste my time, or the kernel developers', trying to test things that won't work.
