Nvidia dual head under FC6

[Steve Underwood]

Hi,

I have been happily using the Nvidia driver with a dual head setup on an
AMD X2 box running FC5 for x86_64. I just upgraded to FC6. Now I can
only get a single head setup to work. Has anything changed in how you
configure dual head setups? What I get in Xorg.0.log is the following:

Backtrace:
0: X(xf86SigHandler+0x71) [0x495ff1]
1: /lib64/libc.so.6 [0x3dc0430210]
2: X(PanoramiXConsolidate+0x154) [0x4ed474]
3: X(main+0x681) [0x432801]
4: /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x3dc041da44]
5: X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x231) [0x4318c9]

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting


Thanks for any help.

Regards,
Steve

I am running a dual setup and have never had any problems at all, I am
currently running FC6 with a nvidia 5700 and its working well. I am not
running x86_64 though. Maybe its just a 64 bit problem?

I'd suggest posting an nvidia-bug-report.log on nvnews.net if you'd
like help on this.

I found there is a utility called nvidia-settings. If you run that in
single screen mode, and ask it for a double screen configuration, it
produced a very different xorg.conf file from the one I had. This one
works OK. So, problem solved, but I have no idea why the previous
xorg.conf file works without problems under FC5.
