I have the same issue so I took the liberty to clone this bug.
I also have a DELL desktop with:
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation G86 [Quadro NVS
290] [10de:042f] (rev a1)
Starting 3.9, dual screen doesn't work anymore (screen stays blank or doesn't
not start at all) and vt switch takes some time. I've bisected the issue and
here are the results:
