Problem with NV driver and Fedora 9

[Nathaniel Daw]

There is actually a bug on this

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3654

in which an nvidia employee shows up and says "yes this doesn't work and 
we're not going to do anything about it" then refuses to explain why and 
marks it "WONTFIX." I almost threw the card out the window when I saw that.

The problems apparently have to do with using the BIOS to program the 
video modes. The nouveau driver actually does fix a lot of this stuff, 
but you have to include

         Option      "Randr12" "true"

under "Device" in xorg.conf. Works for me now.
