It provides two new options, IsolateDevice and SingleCard,
both restrict Xorg-X11 to reset other video cards than the
one(s) it drives, e.g.:

Option  IsolateDevice "busID"

says it explicitely or

Option SingleCard "on"

says to only reset the first device in the layout.

I think this is a preliminary solution as X should do it by default.
I think it would be best to leave the device reset to driver internals.

I attach it here for reference.

I was considering it to do on my FC2 installation but has not had
the time yet. But as I watched both 32 and 64 bit Mozillas to render
some (very) long pages, the 64 bit version definitely wins, I would keep
it if the plugins were available as 64 bit.

There is a question, though: is there any dependency on Mozilla's
libraries? If yes, I then have to "downgrade" those, too. I don't want
to bring half of my system back to 32 bits just to be able to use
the Flash plugin.
