Comment 36 for bug 573557

Well maybe it's not the same bug, or misconfiguration but:

- I made a fresh install this morning because before I was on ubuntu 10.04 too and made too much tests with nvidia official drivers && removing/installing nvidia-current so I installed fresh, thinking that maybe I messed up things with the fixed driver.

- The thing is that using the previous nvidia-current ( 195.36.15 not fixed ), the behaviour was the same, ie, one card only declared in xorg.conf ( no device section for the others or at least screen section commented out in "ServerLayout" ), no problem, X did not care about the 2 others. Adding the config for the two others ( or at least one of the others ) leads to failure.

- I don't believe in hardware limitation, because everything is working great under debian 5 or ubuntu 9.10.
I also tried with my xorg.conf from these previous distrib, and it is failing under U-10.04.

- last: Is the line "vgaarb: transferring owner from PCI:0000:03:00.0 to PCI:0000:04:09.0" normal ?

Regarding misconfiguration, how can nvidia-settings mess up things ? It's the way everyone is doing its config, and I purposely did simple things ( no fancy X options, no hand editing appart commenting out the screens from the 6200 in ServerLayout to be able to boot and report this to you ).

If you want me to test or provide debugs/strace... don't hesitate... you can contact me here or by mail if you want I'll be glad to help !
I really want to fix this so I can prove my admin that winblows sucks :) , and don't know much about this, I'm a developper too, but in voip, not in desktop env...
