I upgraded from F10 to F11Beta/rawhide last night on my laptop and
when I got into the office this morning and docked my lappie it has
the same problem. The intel driver with my old laptop required the
virtual bit in xorg.conf but the nv driver never did. Its a pity there
is this regression on the move to nouveau
