After freeze issues occured with Nvidia's propriarity driver, I've rolled back to the default Nouveau driver on openSUSE 12.3 and 13.1 M4 Gnome on my HP laptop.
While this works fine for the built-in LVDS-1 connected display, xrandr reports that all other ports are disconnected, included DVI-D-1 (and HDMI-1) for the connected external, second monitor.
On the second monitor itself, a "DVI - no signal" warning message is displayed a moment and nothing more..
Neither the gui Settings > Gnome Display tool's "Search Monitors" find the second monitor.
Suggestion how to activate and detect these ports as connected, especially the DVI-D-1 that is able to support 2560x1440 resolution?
