Given lack of input, I'll assume no one disagrees and that this is
indeed resolved now that nvidia supports xrandr 1.2.

The nvidia we have in precise now supports RandR 1.2, so theoretically
this issue should now be gone.
Can someone please re-test and confirm?

Title:
Failed to detect second monit
See my question here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/78237/unity-3d-
with-nvidia-driver-becomes-very-slow-and-laggy
TwinView works with binary drivers, but /usr/bin/X starts to use lots of
CPU after a while and everything becomes laggy.
Nouveau drivers do not lag, but randr -q fails to pick up my
Actually, when I was on Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 (forgot) the screen went
down and lots of colored lines came up on the screen as if it corrupted.
I was running on a IBM ThinkPad T42. I bought a new T61 and made a fresh
install of Ubuntu 11.04 (natty) and now it gives no notice of any second
monitor.
I can confirm the problem and the report from esben.
It is a regression because the second screen worked fine in 10.10.
So it is not a MINOR Problem because nearly every users with an nvidia
laptop or more than one screen will have the same issue.
1: Ubuntu does not detect second screen.
2:
My setup: Dell Precision M4500 laptop with NVidia Quadro FX 880M with
external TFT monitor.
Ubuntu 10.10 external monitor was detected. (using NVidia's binary driver as
provided by Ubuntu)
Ubuntu 11.04 exteernal monitor is not detected. (using NVIdia's binary driver
as provided by Ubuntu)

As far as I can tell, this isn't a regression because it *didn't* work
under 10.10 and isn't expected to work until the nvidia drivers support
XRandR 1.2.
As for why it won't be fixed: it won't be fixed because we can't
(reasonably) fix it. We don't have the source code for the binary
drivers, so
How is this not a regression?
If a use-case worked in 10.10 and now does not work in 11.04 (monitor
detection on specific hardware using the supplied accelerated driver),
how is that not a regression?
And why won't this be fixed?
