[Nouveau] GeForce 8500 GT Connectors Reversed

Hi,

I have noticed that the nouveau DRM kernel driver seems to get the
connectors reversed on my GeForce 8500 GT card.  My setup looks like:

8500GT----------VGA-----------Samsung 2043W (1680x1050)
           |______DVI_______LG L1920P (1280x1024)

but as far as the kernel is concerned, the Samsung monitor gets
detected via the DVI probing:

[    0.521009] [drm:drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes],
[CONNECTOR:15:DVI-I-1] probed modes :
[    0.521015] [drm:drm_mode_debug_printmodeline], Modeline
21:"1680x1050" 60 119000 1680 1728 1760 1840 1050 1053 1059 1080 0x48
0x9

and the LG via the VGA probing:

[    0.551267] [drm:drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes],
[CONNECTOR:17:VGA-1] probed modes :
[    0.551272] [drm:drm_mode_debug_printmodeline], Modeline
89:"1280x1024" 60 108000 1280 1328 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066 0x48
0x5

I have used my xorg.conf configuration to re-reverse the monitor
definitions to get a working system, but should some quirk be added to
handle this particular card:

Are there any other details I can provide that could help?  Even if I
had to write the patch myself and test it, that would be fine by me
with a little advice.

Thanks,
Kevin
