Hi all, I recently bought two Nvidia 9500 GT cards in my Fedora 11 (64bit) system with the hopes of setting up SLI, going to a tri-monitor set up in the future, and running CUDA apps on them.
I put one in and everything booted fine. I installed the Nvidia driver and let it configure my Xorg.conf file. However, when I put the second card in (with an SLI bridge) X does not start. The screen flickers for a few seconds then hangs. (It does the same thing without the SLI bridge in). I've never done anything with two video cards before and I'm sure this takes a little extra configuration, I just don't know what that is.
Here is my current Xorg.conf file...
Code:

Currently, the only way to get my system to boot and start X is to physically take out the second card. For that reason, I don't have a Xorg.0.log file to post at the time. I can say that it said "No screens found" at the end when I had both cards in at once.
Anyway, I'd really like to not see 150$ go down the drain. Any help or a point in the right direction is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
