As per my usual experience with nVidia cards, I had nvidia-settings
try to configure X and it failed miserably.  I'm using kmod-nvidia as
the 96 and 173 series are not for my video card.

I followed the instructions at
http://fedorasolved.org/video-solutions/nvidia-yum-kmod before now not
being able to log in.  I did have to follow the instructions at the
bottom for if nouveau is still trying to load, and that worked fine.
Before nVidia destroyed things though, everything appeared to be
working well and it was able to see both monitors on the two separate
cards.  lspci could see both cards before the driver install also.

Also, I tried installing the nVidia drivers from the nVidia site and
they wouldn't install at all.  It wrote a book of log files, available
at http://pastebin.org/60315

Thanks!
