Hi Adam!
You are quite right. I'm installing on a Dell Latitude E6400 laptop with an
Nvidia card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Quadro NVS 160M (rev
a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: Dell Device 0233
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
Memory at f5000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable)
Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable)
Memory at f2000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable)
I/O ports at df00
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel modules: nouveau
This baby is normally docked to a Dell docking station, and is connected to
a 24" Dell 2407WFP, LCD monitor. I use the wide monitor for all my work and
pretty much ignore the laptop's monitor.
Please find bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=497785
about the ongoing state with Dell Latitude E6400 + advanced docking
station (two DVI/DP output ports) with the x driver nouveau.
