Jeff or Greg, can you try 12.10 and see if this is still an issue (12.04.2 would be good as well).

During testing, attempted to connect a monitor using the system's external DisplayPort video port. The system was running nouveau. This port is completely inoperative with nouveau driver. (it's also inop with nvidia_current). The logs may indicate that the system is using nvidia rather than nouveau, that is because I tested this with nouveau, then installed nvidia_current to verify the behaviour and that's what's currently installed and running.
