That's what I would expect to work. Just perplexed that it didn't and I
had to go round manually cleaning stuff up.
I'll probably have to go back to the Nvidia drivers anyway as the
Nouveau one is noticeably worse in Steam, even at low settings.
I don't know what Steam is.... I had to revert to nouveau recently
because the nvidia driver (340-96) is unable to give a correct
configuration if I plug a beamer on the VGA plug of my laptop.
It cannot handle different resolutions for the laptop screen (1440x900)
while the beamer has a 1024x768 resolution.
This was not the case before: I just finished to update this laptop from
f14 to f24. Under f14, I installed the nvidia driver and it perfectly
worked.
With the nouveau driver, plugging a beamer works (almost) immediately
using the xfce4 display manager (except if I want mirror screens! I have
to configure the display by hand, using xrandr).
