After upgrading to F12 and trying out Nouveau, it doesn't appear that it supports multiple nvidia video cards which means I need to drop back to the nvidia blob drivers, fair enough. However, once I get that up and running X locks up while gnome loads. Its fine with multiple displays on one card, its when I enable the output on the second card that things go back.
So far I've been unable to get anything out of the logs - even if I ssh in while X is locked, there is nothing there of interest.
Anyone have any ideas? I'd be happy to use Nouveau if I could just get a second X session out of it. Would work fine for me since I generally run a virtual machine full screen on one of the 3 displays.
Anyone running into similar issues?
Thanks.

Hi Jason,
i am experiencing the same problems as you.
I have 2 Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT in my PC. 2 TFT's are connected to the first card, a single TFT is connected to the second card.
All three Displays were running fine using Xinerama with Fedora 11.
After upgrading to Fedora 12 i am able to use the 2 Displays connected to the first card.
As soon as i enable the third display, X would load but the System crashes if i move the mouse. Sometimes the Machine isn't even pingable after that anymore.
I already tried to build a new xorg.conf with the nvidia-settings tool, but the result is the same as if i use my old xorg.conf (which was usable under Fedora 11).
I think that it could have something to do with the newer X-Server of Fedora 12. I think that the Nvidia Driver doesnt fit to that X-Server version, but i might be wrong.
I just checked the Nvidia Website for new beta drivers and found a new version - 195.30 (released on 23rd of December). I will try this version later.
Regards, Florian

Hi,
unfortunately still no luck, even with the latest beta drivers from nvidia. :-(

Hi List,
good news for everyone who wants to use more than one Nvidia Card in F12: I found a solution to my problem in this Post:
In short you have to enable the rpmfusion testing repositories and install these packages:
yum --enablerepo=*testing* install kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686
Works great for me!
Now i am just having small problems when i boot up in runlevel 3, i don't see anything after udev starts, until i start X. But i think there will be a solution for that also.
Regards,
Florian
