The reason it says your driver is VESA and your resolutions are capped to 1280 is because you're running the -vesa video driver. It doesn't do RANDR either, so that likely is why you see only one monitor enabled. It may be running -vesa because of nomodeset being specified.
So really the question is why is it not loading -nouveau. ** Package changed: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) => xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/952574 Title: Ubuntu 12.04 beta 1 won't boot off USB key with NVidia GTX 560 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/952574/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
