jones, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-nouveau REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

However, when you now try to reenable the internal monitor again (so having an extended desktop with both monitors), the external monitor goes black and both screens stay off. Looking at Xorg.0.log via SSH shows that some part of Xorg or the nouveau driver crashed. This happens both in 32 bit and 64 bit version of 12.04 and both in a fully updated system as well as when started as live system from USB stick. One way to prevent this from happening is to use xrandr --auto, then both monitors are in clone mode and you can use the graphical tool again for setting up your desired configuration.
