Fedora 13 x86_64 Xorg.0.log and messages files fill up due to nouveau driver

I've been noticing that the F13 nouveau driver with my 8800GT card keeps filling my Xorg.0.log file with junk about display 1
and display 2

Quote:
[666163.970] (II) NOUVEAU(0): EDID for output DVI-I-1
[666163.970] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Manufacturer: SAM Model: 1e7 Serial#: 1112683060
[666163.970] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Year: 2007 Week: 3
[666163.970] (II) NOUVEAU(0): EDID Version: 1.3
.... blah blah a bunch of MODE information for my main display (#1)

and then it does it again for display 2
[666164.117] (II) NOUVEAU(0): EDID for output DVI-I-2
[666164.117] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Manufacturer: HWP Model: 282b Serial#: 16843009
[666164.117] (II) NOUVEAU(0): Year: 2009 Week: 41
[666164.117] (II) NOUVEAU(0): EDID Version: 1.3
a bunch of MODE information for my main display (#2)
because this keeps dumping out 136 lines over and over my Xorg.0.log file is pushing 1.6 GB
in size. I have two displays set up with KDE4 to have two desktops. Is it possible I have something
misconfigured?
Similarly, my messages file is getting filled with lots of:

I suspect this is screensaver related because in the messages files today, it quit dumping this stuff at about 9:30am which is
about when I got on the machine so the lock was exited. I just have the blank screen mode saver in use. I've completely turned the
screen saver off to see what happens.
