Hi, This has probably been asked before, but I'm new on hackers -- Is there a way to setup two VGA adapters in one box, to achieve the followind configuration: - I have a El Cheapo 14" monitor, and a 19" HP fixed frequency color one. Since the HP is not multi freq, I have to constantly plug the 14" back in when I reboot -- so as not to damage the HP circuits (and, yes, I play Hexen and Descent). - I could get a VGA switch, but: What I'd like to do is modify some cheap Trident or Oak VGA (I got one right now) so that the 14" serves as Syscons/PCVT text console, and X runs on the 19". - I know the X server can be modified at another address, but: - what would be the extent of the work? - What about syscons/pcvt? How can keyboard input and mouse be redirected to X when it is running on the second adapter? Of course, if anybody's got a Hercules card and the monitor, I wouldn't mind :-) -- Phil -- - [ regnauld@tetard.frmug.fr.net / +48.8N+2.3E / +33 1 4507 9391 / Sol 3 ] - - [ regnauld@freenix.fr / FreeBSD 2.x / ] - "Le schtroumpf est à l'homme ce que le bleu est au billard" - F.Berjon
