Package: nvidia-kernel-source
Version: 190.53-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
After upgrade to kernel 2.6.32 I was never able to get into X session. I tried
many kernel switches and Xorg changes but screen just freeze after
logging into GDM.
I have two GPUs, three output devices with twinview and xinerama setting.
Today I found solution to this problem on nvnews.net forum, tried it and it
works like a charm.
Include this small patch, please, so it can help users with multiple gpus.
