I have the same issue (two little white strips on a blank screen) with my
ul80vt ubuntustudio 9, it looks like Xorg can only work with 1st graphic
card which is intel on PCI:0:2:0, specify busID to PCI:1:0:0 in xorg.conf
didn't help.
I installed the module to turn off the nv card, but would really like to use
nv card for some CUDA work.
As far as I know, there are 4 possible solutions:

1. Get Xorg to support two hybrid graphic cards proper
2. Get ASUS to have switchable default graphic card in BIOS (UL50 had some
success with this)
3. Get nvidia to investigate the issue
4. Patch Xorg so the detection of default device doesn't get in the way of
nvidia init

I would like to know what you think might be the issue, and the fix most
likely to solve the problem.

cheers,

J
