I'm in the process of rebuilding my home desktop to use FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE and Xorg 7.4. Hardware is a Supermicro P6DC6+/ATI AIW X800 with two HP P1110 monitors. I modified the xorg.conf generated by "Xorg -configure" to allow for a 2560x1024 virtual screen with two 1280x1024 displays and used "xrandr" to set one monitor to the right of the other, which worked fine. I'm using KDE4.2, with kdm started in /etc/ttys (thanks Robert) and with both dbus and hal running. Version of Xorg 7.4 is the version available this morning (3/7/2009), which is identified as "xorg-server-1.5.3_6,1" in /var/db/pkg. The only error I'm seeing is "Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0"." but this seems to have no effects. The same setup is working fine on my old notebook, a Toshiba 8100 which drives one of the two P1110's through a Belkin KVM switch. Mike Squires mikes@siralan.org
