I've been trying to get my secondary DVI Display working with Natty (11.04) and several different kernels. I'm currently using a lowlatency kernel for ubuntu studio but the problem is the same with every kernel I use:

I have this error reporting from all kernel versions I try: dmesg

XRANDR shows my DVI port as disconnected, although during boot of the system it does in fact display video on the DVI port and stops once GDM is loaded.
