I tested my graphics card with another external monitor (a Dell 2408WFP)
which runs with a native resolution of 1920x1200.
Using that monitor does not exhibit the bug and the driver/graphics card
is able to run two monitors simultaneously at 1920x1200 (total
resolution: 3840x1200). This shows me, that such a high resolution is
definitely supported by my hardware (and by the nvidia-current driver?).
But I'm still lost … why does one monitor work and another one with
lower resolution does not? My current guess is different frequencies
trip up the driver. Is there anybody out there with the slightest clue
how to properly troubleshoot this problem?
Interestingly, the Dell monitor does not show EDID data when queried
with xrandr.
Output of xrandr --verbose --query can be found below:
