nouveau gets monitor size wrong

I have an hp dv9000 laptop.  With proprietary nvidia driver, it works correctly.  
xdpyinfo says monitor is 371x232mm, which is correct.

using nouveau, xdpyinfo says it's 447x277mm.

Where do I report this bug?

Here is what I tried to workaround:

I made xorg.conf that contains only this:

-------
Section "Monitor"
    # HorizSync source: edid, VertRefresh source: edid
    Identifier     "Monitor0"
    VendorName     "Unknown"
    ModelName      "LPL"
    HorizSync       30.0 - 75.0
    VertRefresh     60.0
    Option         "DPMS"
    DisplaySize	   371 232
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
EndSection
---------

This seems to work.  I'm hoping nouveau will use automatic settings for 
everything else (AFAICT, it is).

Is this the easiest way to do the 1 thing I need done, which is:

DisplaySize 371 232

?
