I have two (rather old) nvidia cards in my PC.
 * GeForce4 MX 420
 * RIVA TNT2

I used these two cards to create a multi-seat setup with Fedora 8. (I used the
proprietary nvidia driver). It worked great.

When I upgraded to Fedora 9, I found that the proprietary driver wasn't
supported, so I'm giving Nouveau a try. I'm finding that Nouveau can only deal
with one card at a time, apparently. When I start X with the second card, the
second monitor does not light up and X apparently locks up.

Surprisingly, I couldn't find an existing bugzilla entry for supporting
multiple cards, so now I'm creating one. Hope that's ok.

(PS- I have some time in the next few weeks, and I'm a pretty good C
programmer. Is this a bug that one could get into the code and fix in a few
weeks, or are we talking major rewrite of the driver?)
