This now works for me with nouveau in F9 (thanks!), though I appreciate
it may not for all nvidia cards. I need to add:
"Option" "randr12" "1"
to xorg.conf

I very much support the stance Fedora takes on this!

kev.

(Though it has to be said, my previous solution - adding a Radeon PCI
card as the second head to the Nvidia PCIe card inflicted upon me -
still doesn't seem to work, with no indication as to whether it ever
will/should. It's tough to find a dual-head DVI solution using open
source drivers; speculatively buying hardware until something works
isn't always feasible.
