My laptop has been running great with F16.  I drive an external
monitor with it.

This morning I did an upgrade as follows.

This afternoon I rebooted because of a stall coming out from Sleep
mode.  When I did so, I found that my external monitor no longer
worked.

Upon running nvidia-settings, I found that the laptop monitor is in
"Separate X Screen" node and cannot be changed to Twinview
and the external monitor is disabled and cannot be enabled.

I did a downgrade on the recent kmod-nvidia install.  Same behavior.

I tried booting the previous kernel.  Same behavior.

Anyone else having this issue ?
