My bad, overlooked it since Stuart uses nouveau. However, it might be
related nonetheless (and might be a completely different issue as well).
Did your monitor fail right after an upgrade?

Anyway, I'd be really interested to hear from Stuart Pook: his story
sounds exactly like mine.

Your case sounds similar, though.
If the bug is the same, you can easily (even more easily since you have
an identical screen working just fine) fix your screen, using the method
mentioned on fdo.
But I'm no expert, and since this method tempers with your hardware, I'd
recommend you to be cautious.
