I got my dual monitor setup working with nvidia this morning.
I used the current kmod packages from livna.
I tried using the nvidia-xconfig utility. For some reason the file it
generated wouldn't run. I didn't spend much time looking into it. I
suspect it had to do with the fact that it generated 2 "screen0"
elements. I am using a laptop and a monitor and I think that confuses
it.
What did work, however, is the tried and true xorg.conf that I hand
wrote way back in fc3. I copied it into the current xorg.conf file and
now I have dual monitors again.
