(NOTE: This is the second attempt to post this.  First try got error from Fedora List Mail Daemon.)

$ps -ef shows, in part:

   root       178     2  0 09:06 ?        00:00:00 [nouveau/0]
   root       179     2  0 09:06 ?        00:00:00 [nouveau/1]

Is this normal?  I don't recall ever having two.

I recently replaced my LG Flatron L1960TR-BF (4:3 ratio) with an Asus VN242 (16:9).  Could this be the cause of the two nouveau's?  I'm not running a dual monitor set up.  And never have.

The switch over went fine with only a minor glitch with the panels.  No other problems, then or now.

In any case, can (or should) I remove one--and which one--and how best to do that?

Fedora 12-64-bit.  Basically stock.  GNOME.  EVGA GeForce 8400GS graphics card.  3D not enabled.  Fully updated at the time.

Thanks.
