OK, thanks for the info. However, it turns out that my installation of the
nvidia drivers was not as succeful as I tought. After reboot my laptop
refuses to start X (hangs during startup). After removing the nvidia drivers
and returning to nouveau things work again.  This is on
2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686.PAE.

I would prefer to have the nvidia drivers working so any suiggestions for a
workaround will be greatly appreciated.

best,

/Henrik
