dual monitors work for me on F11 with a quadro NVS 290 card

 Its all good except that I lost my dual display functionality and I need
 it back.

 Assuming the driver running is nouveau, how does one set up dual display
 functionality ?   I ask this because a while back I read that using
 xorg.conf for setting things up is kind of taboo these days.  (This was
 in reference to initializing the Synaptics touchpad.)

 So... how do I determine what video driver my system is currently
 using ? (lsmod ?)

 How do I configure it to drive the second display ?

 Thanks

Re: F10 - something positive to say!

 Traditionally the forums are filled with grumbles about things that don't
 work, and questions about how to work around some of those things that don't
 work as they should.

 However occasionally it is nice if someone says something positive about
 Fedora and sends a thank you to the people who devote so much time to making
 the new things happen at all and who then spend considerable time and effort
 in fixing the inevitable problems that will always occur when you create new
 stuff.

 Since F10 was released I have installed it on 4 systems with different
 hardware. One acts as a dns and dhcp server, and the others are a desktop
 and two laptops. All are running dovecot imap servers in a slightly
 non-standard way. Although I did have some frustrating times working around
 some issues mainly associated with SElinux due to some non-standard ways of
 doing things, I now have 4 systems running the way I want them to within my
 LAN, with no SElinux denials, and performing efficiently and seemingly
 faster than the F8 systems they replaced. These are now being used by family
 members who have had smiles on their faces when using the new systems.

 There are some new things yet to enthrall us like KDE4.2 before too long,
 and Thunderbird 3 on the way and I would like to thank all the developers
 and the testers who have brought Fedora to its current level. Fedora is
 ahead of the opposition and cutting edge - and mostly it now works and works
 well.

 I hope there are many silent Fedora users out there who would back me up on
 this!

 Have a great Christmas and I hope that the New Year brings us even better
 Fedora experiences.

I have to agree that this is one of the most solid Fedora releases in
a long time.  Certainly since selinux was intergrated it's the first
one in which I have not had to disable it (so far) for one reason or
another.
