Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG This discussion comes up every once in a while on the lists, and I guess it's time for an update. I havent seen anything since the 3.9.17 beta, so here we go.. What dual head video combinations are people using with XFree86 4.0 and FreeBSD? I've got a -CURRENT box right now with an AGP Riva TNT 2, and really want to setup dual-head with it for programming (after first seeing it on IRIX several years ago, I got hooked). Are people mixing different vendors (Riva & Matrox?) and or AGP and PCI? It's my understanding that there still isn't support for the dual-head cards from Matrox, unless you go with a commercial X server. If anyone could point me to a dual-head compatibility list, that'd help too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ thomas r. stromberg tstromberg@rtci.com senior systems administrator http://www.afterthought.org/ research triangle commerce, inc. 1.919.657.1317 'FreeBSD - the power to serve' 'Perl - the power to hack' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
