Hi, I need to build some new Multi-Head FreeBSD machines in my lab using XFree86 3.9.16. I want to know which VGA cards to buy for Multi-Head (dual monitor) support. Currently I have 1 multi-head FreeBSD machine using Matrox Millenium cards abd XFree86 3.9.16. It works great, but you cannot buy Millenium cards any more. Reading the XFree86 docs, it seems almost all PCI cards are supported multihead on Linux where they can issue an INT 10 call to initialise the BIOS in the secondary card. I'm not sure it we can support that in FreeBSD.
