[Nouveau] errors with GeForce GTX 650 Ti and 3 monitors

[Rob Jansen]

FYI, I’ve downgraded to kernel 3.16.7-200.fc20.x86_64 and have not had any lockups for several days. So I guess this means I’ll stay at 3.16.7-200.fc20.x86_64 for the time being. Whatever fixes happened in 3.17 seemed to have made things worse, at least for me.

The same thing used to happen when 2 monitors were in use, but that has pretty much stabilized as of late. Does anyone have a stable setup with this card using 3 monitors? Will 3 monitors be supported?
