I'm using latest drivers: xorg-x11-drv-intel (2.21.15-5.fc20) and

Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 and Nvidia geforce 9500GT
Chipset: "NVIDIA NV96".

An empty xorg.conf and xorg.conf.d directory will fail 100%.  Only a
standalone intel or nouveau conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory

In my experience, 50-device.conf is not enough. I've always needed
coordinated 50-monitor.conf and 50-screen.conf files as well.

will successfully present a Gnome login screen.  I've tested various
conf files using different scenarios and also submitted abrt reports
since Graphics Test week.

I'm a willing labrat if anyone got any suggestions.

I'm not sure I know what 100% failure means. Are you getting no output
from either nv or intel if attempting to have both configured via
xorg.conf*? Even on the ttys and booting with 3 on cmdline, then using
startx after login? Did it work OK with F19? Have disabling plymouth
and/or unquieting boot been tried? Is behavior entirely using DVI, or
VGA, or only a certain mix? Do your displays have both
DVI/HDMI/Displayport and VGA inputs available for trying different
combinations? Have you tried all (4? 6?) BIOS PEG/PCI settings?

One of my test systems has 4000 DVI and VGA on the motherboard, and I
have a dual DVI out GT8400 I install in its PCIe slot as testing
circumstances require, so later or tomorrow I could try what you've
tried here to see if I get matching behavior, or better (except I only
use KDM, which may or may not make any difference).

Multi-head configuration worked fine on F19 IIRC without conf files. 100% failure = no output display and means Gnome segfaults or will complain when booting system without xorg.conf or using individual intel and nv conf files or intel+nv combined in one conf file. When using intel+nv conf in any combination Xorg.log reports adding gpus, monitors, devices, screens, and layout but ends with NouveauLeave VT. When muti-head is configured booting into 3 and using tty commandline startx still fails. NV is using DVI+VGA and Intel is currently using HDMI1. Other inputs available on Intel with test HDMI2 and VGA. Also, somewhere along the way toggled PEG/IGD in bios, may need to revisit. Observed no changed in behavior when booting unquiet. Thought I may need to mention, dmesg reports "fb: conflicting fb hw usage inteldrmfb vs EFI VGA - removing generic driver" since reading about efi boot and odd hw behaviors in another discussion, could efi boot cause this problem?

Thanks for response.
