This is mostly for Dan (I think).

I found a reference on how to control the nouveau frame buffer on the 
kernel command line:

   http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/KernelModeSetting

At the bottom, it talks about forcing modes.  I tried changing grub:

   kernel /vmlinuz-3.4.1-lfs-SVN-20120617 root=/dev/sda12 video=DVI-I-1:d

The framebuffer video was restricted to DVI-I-2, but it was cycling the 
monitor about every five seconds (on 4 seconds, off 1).  There was no 
problem in xorg.

Is this worth opening a bug at bugs.freedesktop.org?
