I just tried the new 8756 drivers with the updated kernel
(2.6.16-1.2069_FC4) and now I get no Screen 1 (which is the S-Video out
of MX440). It's been working fine for months with 7676.
Screen 0 (which is a regular old CRT Monitor) works fine.

I looked to see if there were new xorg.conf instructions  that I needed
to change, but I didn't see anything. The Xorg.0.log says:

   Unable to find available Display Devices for Screen 1

and then:
   unload module "nvidia"
   unload module "ramdac"
   unload module "fb"
(which I assume it is referring to Screen 1)

I googled this error but really couldn't find anything. Where else could
I look?

Another strange thing: Live TV doesn't work anymore. I upgraded mythtv
to the next notch with the other upgrades (to the latest on atrpm).
Mythfrontend works watching recordings, but no live TV.
