Ok, this looks like a failure to setup dual-link TMDS which the larger monitor
would require to run at its native resolution.  To solve the immediate problem,
load the nouveau kernel module with "modprobe nouveau duallink=0" to reject
modes that require more bandwidth than is available on single-link TMDS.  You
won't be running at your monitor's native mode, but you should have an image.

Now, we don't know exactly how to program dual-link as of yet so if you're
willing to do some experimentation that'd be *really* good.  Also, grabbing
traces of the NVIDIA binary driver initialising it would help a lot.  See
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/MmioTrace for details on how to do this.

For some random testing that may help, try playing with the uscript_tmds module
option.  Valid values for most cards are 0x0001 0x0002 and 0x0105.  0x0001 is
the default, to try the others use "modprobe nouveau uscript_tmds=0x0105" etc.

Thanks!
