The new vga arbiter API in Fedora 12's kernel breaks the nVidia driver when used with multiple cards. Drivers that don't need legacy VGA I/O are supposed to opt-out of VGA Arbitration. I posted a patch to nvnews last night that is working for a few people (including myself) for multi-card configurations. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=142656 Can the nvidia driver maintainer incorporate the patch in the rpmfusion package? The patch is attached.
