Bug Description
When booting off an Oneiric release / Precise daily liveCD image, my two monitors (connected to the two DVI outputs of my Nvidia 9600GT (nv50 type) graphics card) come up nicely when the plymouth boot splash shows up, and continue to work throughout the liveCD session.
When booting the installed system, the plymouth bootsplash fails to render, showing graphical corruption instead, and the second monitor stays off. Then X loads successfully, and the second display is correctly detected, but any attempt to turn it on fails (no signal reaches the monitor), even though the system believes it's turned it on - everything works as if the monitor was on, except for the monitor actually being on.
I would think this is a problem with the initialization of the hardware, and given the point at which the liveCD/installed boot processes show differences, it may have to do with the grub-kernel handover. My grub menu is displayed by default.
A note about the corrupted plymouth screen: about 2/3 of the screen is corrupted, but the bottom 1/3 becomes Ubuntu-
WORKAROUND Use the nvidia binary driver with TwinView.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue.
However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further testing. This is such a request.
We have noted that there is a newer version of the development kernel than the one you last tested when this issue was found. Please test again with the newer kernel and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.
You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the following commands in a terminal window:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Fix Released.
If you want this bot to quit automatically requesting kernel tests, add a tag named: bot-stop-nagging.
Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.
