Description of problem:

While trying the nouveau driver to see if it works better than nv, I tried
turning on the Randr12 option (as recommended in a post on the fedora-list).
It is certainly different, but I can't call it better. Instead of getting
a rotten resolution, the system apparently freezes up. The last line in the
X log is:

(II) NOUVEAU(0): Attempting to locate BIOS image in PROM

I guess the attempt wasn't successful :-).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nouveau_drv.so
(II) Module nouveau: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
	compiled for 1.4.99.901, module version = 0.0.10


How reproducible:

seems to be 100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. see above
  
Actual results:

apparent system lockup

Expected results:

A 1920x1200 display would be nice :-).

Additional info:

See bug 446458 for my nv driver experience on same system.

Also, without the Randr12 option, nouveau behaves identical to nv
(i.e. a 1204x768 display).

I'll attach what there is of the X log written before the crash.
