I think I'm using the xorg-x11-drv-nv driver, not the nouveau
driver after running system-config-display.  The xorg.conf that
system-config-display creates has a section that looks like this:

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "nv"
EndSection

So I guess this is an nv bug?  Should system-config-display
be setting up the nouveau driver if it is installed instead of
the nv driver?

I'm not running system-config-display to get the
xorg.conf... I'm running it because it seems to recognize
a dual head configuration for me during the current
session.  Speaking of that, if xorg.conf isn't needed,
where do dual head settings (eg, which monitor is
on the left) get stored and what is the appropriate
tool to use to configure dual head?  I notice on a
different system that dual head works even though
system-config-display shows the dual head check
box disabled.

Thanks,
