It is the 3.8-rc2 kernel which I linked to earlier, yes.

I think the drm.debug is perhaps causing them to either not get logged, or there is just too much information from drm.debug, and they end up not appearing. The output of running 'dmesg' and looking at /var/log/dmesg are not consistent.

I am not using HDMI for any monitors. The board doesn't even have HDMI. It has 2 DVI ports, and one Displayport. I'm using DVI for both monitors. No adapters for anything. Monitors are both Samsung 2343BWX. When trying to configure the second display to a working resolution (1280x800), then back to the native resolution, and finally back to mirroring, I get this from "dmesg|grep fdi" :
