I installed the 295.33 vanilla from Nvidia.com as I couldn't find them within standard repositories. Though, 295.33 doesn't seem to solve the problems, my external display connected via displayport is still not detected in nvidia-settings. Interestingly something is happening when I hit 'Detect' within nvidia-settings as my Dell U2711 changes the status indicator color from Standby/yellow to blue for a short time...
Thanks for helping out, Bryce. I have a very similar issue with nvidia-graphics on a T410 (NVS 3100M chipset).
As far as I can say, the problems with the external displayport were introduced here:
Start-Date: 2012-03-04 18:58:02 current: amd64 (280.13-0ubuntu6), nvidia- settings: amd64 (280.13-0ubuntu2, automatic)
Commandline: apt-get install nvidia-current
Install: nvidia-
I'm pretty sure things worked well before.
