I upgraded my home machine to F16 on Wednesday, and liked it so much that I decided to upgrade my work machine today. That didn't go quite as smoothly. I've got a dual monitor setup at work, with what lspci calls "nVidia Corporation G94 [GeForce 9600 GT] (rev a1)". I did a fresh install with a DVD. After booting up, the initial screen (with the install and troubleshoot options) came up on the left monitor; the right monitor was blank. After choosing to install, X came up on both monitors, but the windows were displayed on the right monitor only. The left monitor was black, but I could move the mouse over there. The problem, though, is that the windows were apparently 2 monitors wide. The "back" and "forward" buttons were not visible, presumably being one monitor width off to the right of the right monitor. I got by for awhile by tabbing twice and hitting Enter to activate the "forward" button, but when I got to the part where I had to decide which drives are data and which need to be formatted, I could not go on, as the arrows to move drives between the two areas were off the screen also. So I restarted, chose the VESA option, got the left monitor only, and installed. After installation, I removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf (which specified the VESA driver), and rebooted. But X still came up on only the left monitor. Xorg.log indicated a drm failure. I found a new libdrm in -testing, installed it, gave feedback on a typo in the udev rules, and rebooted. No change. Here's are some excerpts from the logs, in case anybody has a clue as to what's happening. From /var/log/messages: Nov 11 12:25:13 diannao kernel: imklog 5.8.5, log source = /proc/kmsg started. ...
