The latest openSUSE 13.1 uses kernel version 3.11.6-4-desktop (x86_64
here).
(What I can add is that Nouveau did not work either for external, dual
display on this mobile hardware using previous 3.x kernels on openSUSE
12.x. The propriarity Nvidia driver which currently works again using
SLED11 SP3 now, has on the other hand had some freeze lock problems)
Well, I'm not sure I'm skilled to try the suggested airlied's drm-next
branch as this is new for me. Is there available a detailed procedure
guide how to do it?
Thanks,
Terje

The important thing for display detection/setting proper modes/etc is
the kernel -- what kernel version are you using?
Separately, there has been a fix that affected VBIOSes found in NV96
cards, and it would not be a stretch to believe that a similar VBIOS
script could be found in a NV92 card. However the NV96 error condition
was different (everything detected fine, but no actual image
displayed, whereas for you it's not even showing anything as
connected, which could indicate a i2c/hpd problem).
I would say that the steps for you are to first try airlied's drm-next
branch, which should have all the latest nouveau fixes:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux/log/?h=drm-next . If that
is of no help, open a new bug (see
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/) -- we really want to see
your vbios, so upload a copy of that
(/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/vbios.rom), and also throw in a full dmesg
booted with nouveau.debug=PDISP=debug,VBIOS=trace
Lastly, did this ever work with nouveau? If so, please indicate that
in the bug; you will likely be asked to do a kernel bisect.

Hi List,
I'm stuck how to get a dual head monitor solution to work with Nouveau,
running openSUSE 13.1 on my hp8710w mobile workstation equipped with a
Nvidia graphical card. Beyond the built-in WUXGA display, an external WQHD
monitor is connected to the HDMI port on the graphical card and/or to the
dual link DVI-D on a hp docking station.
To compare with SLED11/Nvidia driver running in dualboot with openSUSE
13.1/Nouveau on the same workstation, the external monitor works up to
1920x1080 over HDMI and at 2560x1440 resolution over the docking dual link
DVI-D.
Here follows the query output using openSUSE 13.1/Nouveau/xrandr:
# lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2

FX 3600M] [10de:061c] (rev a2)

Beyond LVDS for the builtin display, all other graphical ports are reported
as disconnected by xrandr:

VGA-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-D-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
I've tried a solution that has been suggested to add output to an external
monitor, but it failed as shown:
# xrandr --addmode HDMI-1 1920x1080
# xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 1920x1080 --left-of LVDS-1
xrandr: Configure crtc 1 failed
I would be very thankful to get help here that can solve this confusing
problem.
