fc14 + kmod-nvidia + xinerama => crash!

i have a 64-bit F14 desktop (from preupgrade) with an nvidia quadro nvs 440 adapter and four displays. if i use any form of xinerama (e.g. 4x1 or 2xTwinview or even 2x1), and run any KDE(!) program, the X server crashes. i've upgraded to the latest rpmfusion nvidia driver (xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-260.19.12-4.fc15.x86_64) and even pulled in all of the kde rpm's from updates-testing. the X server still crashes.

anyone else seeing this?

/mark

ps - an update: i installed the 260.19.21 driver from nvidia's web site. it has the same problem. sigh.

pps - ah, not just me! thank god! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...11/+bug/650539

ppps - and more: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=106125

pppps - and this might be the fix: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-dev...er/014150.html. anyone know
if this will be in F15 soon? somehow?

Re: fc14 + kmod-nvidia + xinerama => crash!

here is the relevant fedora bugzilla bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=649526.
poor phil - he had to overcome a chorus of "you're not using nouveau!" naysayers before
proving his case (and he was right!).

anyone know where i can pick up a 'testing' or an 'updates-testing' set of rpms with the patch?
