Description of problem: I'm running the RHEL 6.1 nightly builds on a HP Z400 with an nvidia Quadro card and dual monitors. When unlocking the screen saver the primary monitor is not reactivated and the user is forced to disable the monitor in the gnome display panel, save it, then re-enable the monitor. Quite tricky if your menu bar is on the disabled monitor. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.32-118.el6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install nightly kernel 2. reboot 3. enable screen saver 4. wait 5. move mouse Actual results: Main monitor blank Expected results: Main monitor working Additional info:
This is a regression from 6.0. Although the card in question is not supported in 6.0, others that were will be effected by this issue. A patch that was available in the 6.0 kernel was lost during the rebase of the DRM components due to a proper fix not being available upstream at the time. We included a quick workaround for the problem instead. Upstream is now fixed properly, but it is likely too invasive for 6.1 at this point but we should add the workaround back. Jeff has tested a scratch build and confirmed it corrects the bug for him.

This should be fixed for sure with the current kernel builds available for 6.2, can you confirm Jeff?

This is working for me on 6.4.
