Possibly identical... I just noticed he appears to have exactly the same card.

Following an upgrade to Linux 3.3.0 (from 3.2.11) all output on second monitor
connected a single card( 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation
NV36.2 [GeForce FX 5700] (rev a1)) is black/blank.

The system appears to believe a monitor is connected, it gets EDID, it shows up
in configuration utils, you can drag windows onto it (but not see them) etc.

I have since downgraded again (to 3.2.12) and all is well again.

All this was with the built in nouveau driver in the kernel, the Gentoo team
suggested using the external module (nouveau-drm-20120322) but this produces
exactly the same results.
